Hi Robert,

Are you gathering up the "hits" and "misses" of the new firmware based on the four or five different threads it has generated, or should we establish a single, dedicated thread to the task (assuming you have any real pull to influence things in China beyond informing your colleagues that the latest firmware was "not quite ready for prime time")??

I realize TTS is important as it is a selling point of the Pocket Pro, and I'd rather have it available in case I develop a compelling need for it in the future.

But it would be a real shame if we were to lose some of the forward progress TXT, RTF, HTML, FB2, and yes...even EPUB files (once they are renamed) now enjoy with the updated Cool Reader software. I realize there are some bugs in this new version as well, including the odd way it now reverses text, and these should certainly be corrected.

In any event, for now I'm happy to use the latest, "pulled" firmware (although I can appreciate why Astak removed it).

Thanks for keeping us all informed!!!
