First off, thanks for letting me try the beta Jim!

Right off, v2 has fixed my issue with the TOC, so thank you very much for that! Continuing this vein of the positive,

-Overall I like the new version very much!
-I like the new library.
-I like the idea of Calibre web integration but I have not had a chance to test it yet, I will post back when I do.
-I love the ability to save presets by book.
-I like the lock backlight feature, now I can set my system backlight back to 10 seconds to dim.

The things I might like to see starts with the lock backlight. Is there a way to make this permanent? It seems every time I open Freda I have to turn it back on.

-I did like the old top dropdown menu that allowed me to navigate bookmarks, TOC and chapters. Since there are two "hotspots" (top and middle screen clicks) is it possible to have an option to return the former "go" menu (chapters, TOC, bookmark nav) for one of the hotspots then assign the other to shortcuts?

-The library, is it possible to add a "source" dropbox? What I mean is there is an author and title dropdown next to the search box. Could there also be a quick navigation dropbox that just listed the source? So say I have sources of "\storage card\eBooks\News", "\storage card\eBooks\fiction", "\storage card\eBooks\Nonfic", Calibre ODPS. Could there me a drop box that lists them and when I click one it lists all books from that source?

Bug I encountered:

-The auto-open option doesn't seem to stick. I set it to yes and every time I open Freda it doesn't auto-open and I find the setting set back to "no". Its the only settings option that behaves this way for me. To note, I have not done an uninstall and install. I just did an over the top of 1.1 install. I will try to do a clean install later today and see if that fixes it. I am also installing to ROM and using a temp directory on my storage card for Freda. Maybe I should try installing the app to Storage card?

Thanks again Jim, great app - yet again!
