Yes, a firmware upgrade for the 6 inch coming

This I think I narrowed down on my PP to the version of Coolreader on the earlier firmwares had issues opening .fb2 files, regardless of size, which had embedded links and/or images. Any .fb2 I created using Calibre didn't work, though BookDesigner created .fb2 worked a treat.

This issue appears from all my testing to be resolved with the latest firmware which uses Coolreader3. This update is only for the PP at the moment, but I believe a 6" firmware update is coming (but don't quote me).
Dear Irenas and Solicitous:

Yes, as FB2 has a lot to do with how the Coolreader works and vice-versa, the new firmware upgrade may well help. That new upgrade for the 6 inch will have the latest version of FB2 and Coolreader on it.

Thank you, Solicitous!!

I do not want to try to convince anyone to do something they do not want to do. All I can say is that Dale DePriest was the beta tester on this latest revised upgrade and there is no better person on eBook Readers than Dale. I think, from what I have heard, that problems have been related to the .LIT still not perfection (but somewaht better). The CoolReader and FB2 seem to be just fine.

Also, we know that you can try the new firmware upgrade. Save a copy of the December upgrade on your computer and then try the new one. You can always go back. BUT, most of what I have seen agree with Dale... the revised firmware upgrade (dated April 2, 2010) is a major step forward.
