Received my Delstar Openbook today and immediately loaded the newest firmware (v1.02). I'm impressed with the clarity, but the screen seems to be a dust magnet, and looks to have a few 'bubbles' in the corners.

It does a good job playing Divx/Xvid files, and the MP3 player seems to work pretty good (it better since it's based on an MP3 rockchip), but the real downfall seems to be PDF files.
It views them pretty good and has 5 different zoom levels, but from what I can tell there is no way to bookmark a PDF. Pushing the M button just brings up a 'jump to page' option. When viewing an EPUB file the M button brings up a whole pile of options, including 'SaveMark', but nothing like it when looking at PDFs. This might be acceptable if it saved your place when shutting down, but every time you open the PDF you start at the very beginning of the file.

If there is anyone from Delstar who is still reading these forums, please look into bookmarking PDF files. It is the one major drawback of the current firmware.

Thanks,
Andrew
