Matthijs, thanks for answering questions out here. That's great!

You have also taken away several of my fears and frustrations already . I still have questions though..

Indeed, but why not have them on the home screen? I find it extremely useful to make shortcuts there on the "desktop" for the five or so documents I actively use at any given time. Is there any specific phylosophy that prohibits this?

Zoom: selection zoom is indeed an acceptable workaround that will do well enough for a while. Good to hear that's still around.

Metadata in the file browser: somehow I have a lot of files with screwed up metadata. So, a fallback won't help me. I'd rarther switch this feature of completely.

I'm looking for a metadata editor still. The one lead I found, right here on this forum, comes with the warning that it screws up PDFs above version 1.4. . So, Matthijs (or others), if you know of a good one, please do mention it .

So that's the new distinction? In those terms all the DR1000 currently does are scribbles: either on a "book" or on a "template".

Anyway, this is great news, the templates were a none solution anyway:

That can't be right. Doesn't another vendor (BeBook?) develop and support two firmwares simultaneously? AFAIK they just can't be in the same firmware due to those licensing restrictions.

And know for the $$$$ question: do those "minor power improvements" include squashing that darn bug that makes the DR1000S drain itself completely at times?
