First of, thanks to all Irex developers for listening and taking the user's community's inputs in making DR800 a better reader with v2.0 firmware.
Here are some of the problems and suggestions that I have with 2.0-beta firmware.
Problems:
1. Turning pages while in "Reflow" mode is really slow. The infamous "Please wait..." dialog box pops up on every turns and it takes a long time before display the next page (15, 17, 28 seconds). It used to be fast in 1.0 firmware.
2. Turning pages with "Zoom" mode is faster than "Reflow" mode but needs continuous mode. Need ability to use the flipbar when at the bottom of the page so that it will go to the top of the next page on flipping the flipbar.
3. Needs "fit-by-width" for Landscape mode while in Original Layout.
4. Scribbling within PDF doesn't work very well. Lines do not match the location of the stylus tip. They're off and sit below the stylus's contact point.
5. Erasing markup within PDF is not accurate as within "Notes" tool. It took many erease attempts to remove all scribblings even if erased several times over and over again. It also required
that I popup the menu in order to refresh and update the screen. There is no way to tell which area will be erased upon refresh.
6. Indexing take a long time. I don't even have alot of books on the reader. I believe the reason is it was indexing files within the "Programs" and "Personal" folders as well.
Some suggestions such as "status bar" to tell how long it will take and/or selective indexing are a great suggestions.
7. Pen doesn't work in Landscape mode within Notes. I tried to scribble but the scribblings are not even close to handwritting. Recalibriate stylus in Landscape didn't help.
8. Sometimes, scribblings will lockup the "Menu" button and flipbar. I experienced this in Photos Mode. A reboot is needed to resolve the problem. I believe I experienced this in "Notes" as well.
Needed features:
1. Need ability to switch between "panning mode" and "pen mode" from the status bar.
2. Don't need Download or 3G/Airplane Icon. Please remove them from the status bar while reading or making note.
3. Highlight feature within PDF and Epub.
4. Need ability to annotate notes within document using on screen keybaord for other documents as well.
Other issues:
1. Notes will draw upsided down and from right to left when using "Screen Flip" (180 degrees)
2. I can't add more notes even the SD still have 72% free space available. The error was "can't create new notes because your SD card might be full." The problem went away after reflashing with the 2.0-beta firmware.
3. Xournal crashed when trying to jump to certain page of "annotate pdf" mode.
I think the items listed in problem sections are major problems. We hope it get fix before the final release. Thanks!!!
