What was the former folders? maybe it will help making new ones..

Why would you format the Cool-er? Did it need it?

I still cannot authorize the cool-er with ADE, and I suspect something's wrong with the details in a file inside the Digital Editions folder, so maybe a factory reset will help.

I seem to have a strange behaviour with the battery indicator, as it's always half empty when I'm reading a book (the battery is fully charged), but it show correctly as full when I'm in the library.

Sometimes to get the battery meter to work properly, you have to let the device fully drain and then fully charge just to calibrate the battery.

I doubt that netronix use such a complex battery charger

It's not just a Netronix issue.. it's that way on a lot of devices. Sony included.

First I renamed some of the default folders to my native language (danish), and experienced problems like blank folders, and couldn't delete a txt file.

So I thought that formatting (like on other gadgets) was the solution but of course that was a mistake since the COOL-ER didn't create a default folder structure via boot or reset.

It seems like the picture looks pretty ok to me!
I'd not be able to say if it only had 4 grey scales!

Can you try to show a picture of how these photo's looks like on the cooler?:

I'm interested in how the color palette displays and how the color changes (light to darker) are being displayed.

Thank you!

if i open a (fairly large) book, go to a page, or set a bookmark

if i then plug it in to my pc and rename the file it will open the next time just fine
very odd

also sometimes going back to the library causes it to reset, again usually if you've been reading a large book

does feel like a memory issue but surely 128mb is enough to load a 500kb ePUB book :|

edit; think ill run some tests later with various different book formats

Still won't work though, after I changed the folder's back to their original names.

I just can't go from reading a book back to the library page without resetting it....

When my Cool-er crashes, it simply switches itself off - and back on again - without me doing anything about it!

My latest crash came when I had converted a book from (unsecure) Mobipocket with Calibre to be compatible with the Cool-er, and it had no table of contents..... when I tried to view the table of contents, the Cool-er crashed! The previous crash came about when I had several books opened, but none bookmarked and I suspect I just challenged the memory a step too far!

This is definitely the thread to read for those who are interested in purchasing a Cool-er.

OK had a little mess around with formats
~700 page book in a 1.6mb html
1.3mb txt
and a 0.6mb ePUB

also had a random pdf of something else i had lying around

the epub loaded once, went to page 150, put a bookmark, went back to library and it reset
reset when loading the book again every time afterwards

html, txt and pdf files all loaded fine (although slower than the epub), navigated to page 150, set bookmark, exited to library
went back in, jumped to bookmark, exited to library again
all fine

so its very definately related to the epub format
although its kinda odd that it opens it just fine once but not again
hope they fix this soon tbh, epub is my prefered format :|

Also doesnt seem to happen with smaller ePUB files, i have a 40kb ePUB book on there too which loads fine (and much faster than html/txt) everytime

will try and find the threshold for crashing

doesnt actually seem to be related to size, seems to be the construction of the actual epub file

i managed to open/bookmark/exit/reopen a 1mb 1000page epub fine (if a little slow)
and also converting hte original html of a book to epub using calibre caused it to reset but using stanza didnt (although calibre produced a far better book, go figure

)

all i can suggest is if you have a problem with a book causing your cooler to reset, try converting it in a different app or using a different format
at least for now

It impossible with such crashes that they pass the Adobe certification :/

Could some of the purshasers ask them about the certification?

Godzil · 07-17-2009, 03:38 PM

Ho good pictures too
Thanks, I will test them on my own Cybook

I have not experienced any epub crashes, so far. Well not exactly true: One ePub didn't open and the system didn't stop loading, so I had to do a reset. Even a 5.6 mb ePub worked fine.
