If I don't do this manual refresh, Freda crashes when I open an updated news book. Today, doing the manual work around froze my HD2.
I use Calibre news books which I update every day or so. What I do is save the books to a folder on my card, which I have set in the Freda library's "add books" dialog and picked the folder with all the news books called "news". |
Just changing the file name may not be enough - because Freda, for managing its temporary files and bookshelf details, also uses book ID (which you can find in the book metdata). Possibly the different news epubs are being generated with the same ID. That would certainly crash Freda (as for locking up the device, I don't know - but it's clearly a possibility).
The solution: when you have finished reading the news epub, open the library, select the epub in the list and do Actions...>Remove '<whatever the epub is called>'. That will remove the epub from the library and the bookshelf, and will delete all the temporary files associated with it.
To load the next one, do Actions...>Add Books, and then use Add Folder, Add Single URL or Add Single File, as necessary.
Thanks for helping with the Freda testing.
