First reaction to ver. 2: Wow, this is really different. It's going to take me a little while to wrap my head around the differences in the GUI.

Couple of immediate questions:

1) Is the only viewing mode now full-screen? That's how it seems. Maybe I'm missing something. That's probably okay with me, as I usually read that way. But I did wonder.

2) Is there no longer a way to override a book's justification attribute? I see an option not to force justification, but nothing that lets me force left-justify. This jumped out at me right away, as the book I'm reading is apparently justified in the original file, which I'd never noticed as I had Freda v.1 set to override to *not* justify. That was a feature in v. 1 that I really liked. I cannot stand clunky justification on a small screen, so I had to reconvert the file in Calibre to get rid of the justification. I also had to remove the book from the Freda library and add the new conversion back in, before Freda displayed it unjustified. ("Forgetting" the book didn't do it.)

3) I was in the text, then went to the menu (shortcuts screen?). After poking around, I absentmindedly hit the Back button. That took me to an error message, and not back to where I had been. I needed to go back to the contents page to find my place again.

I notice that the Library page has a space to display metadata, or at least the author. It seems that it picks up that information only after a given book has been opened. Is that correct, and by design?

Well, clearly you've been hard at work on this. BTW, that Bible I sent you to test does indeed open in this version.
