hi all,
i updated my dr1000 to v2 day before. and was full of apprehension reading all the issues in this forum. must admit that the results so far have been a pleasant surprise. thanks to the various posts, i didnt use the SD card with old s/w and data on it - instead used a freshly formatted 16gb card. update was smooth and after the system booted up, started copying my data - so far i have put about 1700 pdf docs and about 1300 epub books. indexing upon boot after adding the files did take a while (i estimate approx 4-5 secs per document) but subsequent boots are quick and only new/changed files are (re)indexed.
the biggest surprise was the pdf reader . it is very fast and even magazines like sci am which are not just text are loaded and page turns quick. havent seen a problem so far.
on the negative side, i seem to have a problem with opeining the book folder - with 1300 books, the folder takes 30-40 secs to open (in SD card view it is a bit faster). this is annoying. but once opened, page turns are quick. this problem does not happen when opening the personal docs folder which has all my pdfs. has anyone else seen this problem.
notes app is basic but usable.
newspaper reader works very well, like before. thank god for that as reading newspapers from india is a daily dose for me.
all in all, a great step forward and if i could request irex - please fix the power issues (proper sleep mode etc) before tweaking what already works in an acceptable way. currently the power management sucks in an otherwise very usable device.
cheers,
/bazmi.
