Issues with Software 2.5 - Page 3

tvg · 07-27-2006, 02:41 PM

Hi,

Happy with my Iliad, but I noticed the following:

the pageflip:
pull to the left in a book = next page
pull to the left in notebook = previous page

furthermore:
I tried to connect a usb DISK to the usb stick port( an externally powered disk)
This did not work
froze the machine, I had to reset it.

I agree that pdf zooming is esential, to not have to "redo" (even if that were possible) all pdf's

happy reading...
Tom

pulling left = like pulling on a piece of paper to turn the page

R2D2,

Yes I understand, why it mimics "pageturning" of a paper book.
but I think i should be consistent over all applications.

Funny - mine recognizes cards and sticks ONLY if they're present at boot.
The random factors in some of what we're observing with 2.5 are just amazing ... for example, I can see my battery indicator fine, all the time. And my "plock" only turned on (by itself) when I accessed the Settings menu....

I've just experienced that the reader enters an infinite loop when loading a file named UPGRADE.txt.

Renaming it fixed the loading.

Even stranger....

My problem was only with my CF card. The SD card doesn't exhibit this problem.
