Oh man, don't tell me I've been testing with a faulty script all this time
I'll try out the correct installer and make a new package tonight... Thanks for pointing it out!

Morkl request- can you see where the "Invalid page" error happens in the code? It would be wonderful if the reader app just defaulted to the first page of the book if it got this error, rather than being unable to open the book at all. This is horrible default behaviour from Sony. This is simple to reproduce by changing the book (say in sigil) so the structure changes - either a reasonably big edit or simply renaming the html file for the current page will trigger the problem.

Cheers,
Simon.
Hey, that would be useful! Will look into it.

Good job! I think I'll add that list of expressions to the default settings in the next homescreen

Re: the app drawing cutting: The apps are in a scrollable grid view, but I would prefer to have a set of next/prev buttons to avoid unnecessary screen updates (I'm guessing that would be easier to accomplish than having a dynamic number of screens, since the the 2/3 screens are hard coded everywhere in the original code).
