I am testing it now: it works great! PDF books which I could not read because they were encoded with fonts for A4 page size are now zoomable by entering the menu by pressing OK once inside the PDF, then 5 then choose the size of the text you want! And it is not slow!
This beta firmware does not read prc files though.
And it does not solve the instability problems of many unlucky owners of an Hanlin V3. Removing the SD-card from the reader still makes it stable, though.
Wow, I'm so loving this firmware! The PDF reflow is brilliant to say the least, and I agree the reflow rendering is snappier than I thought it would be! but here's one question...

I find that all Lbook firmwares use coolreader for rendering txt and doc files, which is something I don't enjoy. It takes very long to load the coolreader and it can't display Chinese menus properly. May I know if there's a way I can keep the new Lbook firmware and NOT use the coolreader for txt files? Thanks in advance.
