It's a false positive that the current AVG Free definition does not have a problem with. All that's needed is to make sure AVG Free is updated.

Um... yes, I know. It was a joke.

I confirm: no more false detection after updating the virus db !

So sorry...

new feature request :
Show page count of books on main book selection page.
If page size it too complex to calculate, show file size.

I have lots of short stories and full books mixed up in there,
and i cant remember which titles are long and which are short.

Thanks !

It's all a part of my evil plan. First mobileread.com, then the world!

If you delete only .xml and .ttf files yes. Keep in mind that if you break the file structure in any way you'll break PRSCustomizer. Also, any space you save will be minimal.

I don't think that's possible. AFAIK, a book must be loaded before pages are calculated and that's an internal function, not something that's done via javascript and xml.

How about file size (and file type, while we are at it) ?
That gives good indication on book size.

The operations you're asking for are parts of the rudiments of file management; getting file size and type imply being other to do other file operations, e.g. delete, copy,etc.

It may be possible to do these things with Sony's xml, but I've never done them. I believe that someone added in a delete function for the old firmware...when I have time I'll look at the code and see if it gives me hints.

The old delete for the 500 was useless. It hung the 500 if you tried to delete any content in a collection. If we have code to do things to content then it needs to take into account collections or it's just useless.

I recall reading about the collection problem, thanks for the reminder. I wasn't planning on modifying content, I just want to read the code to see how they interacted with the filesystem.

Right now my priority is fine-tuning localization. I have single-language selection working, but I need to do cleanup and testing.
