Addressing of miscellaneous issues.

I'm looking forward to playing with the color schemes with my various documents. Maybe a color for news, another color for techy, geeky-ness, and so on...

Also intriguing is the ability to limit off-site links. I just started playing with excluding URL's and the more functionality, the better. And this next release is supposed to fix some of my RSS feeds that come through now as HTML-looking files instead of the normal iSilo goodness.

All in all, it looks to be a significant upgrade for me. I usually tend to wait until the upgrade is out of beta before installing it, but I may install this one to give Darren some feedback from the Zodiac community (I don't think he has a Zodiac device to play with, but rather it's all in emulation.) Maybe he'll have addressed the shoulder buttons in terms of giving them some functionality...

This might sound small, but it is *BIG* to me! Isn't it just me or do you also believe that black type on white background is not ideal for reading e-books? I prefer reading my books on a black background with a light (light-grey or white) type font. That is why I used to prefer eReader Pro; now that iSilo supports theme colors as well.... m the WAY to go!!!
