Easily done once iRex releases the 1.6 source (people who have been around a while, how long does iRex usually take to do this?). Once we have more applications, we'll probably need a hack to let the user pick file associations, rather than the "hard" associations for FBReader.

IMHO, this is because the menus are close to the edge of the screen, and Wacom insists that there is a rift in space-time there . The slow response, I think, is because of the strange way the refresh hooks are built into GTK+ by iRex. They work, more or less, but these apps are just not optimized for an e-ink screen.

Interesting, I am not sure what the DR does to applications that are unfortunate enough to have started 5 documents ago.

BTW, if you can get a Xournal build for your OS on the PC, you can open the files there and convert to PDF - no need to struggle with the scribble merger application and you have line style options, text annotations and color
