Astak 6" basic (V3)
Can you (Astak/Robert) please post the latest Astak firmware?

How hard can that be beyond telling the webmaster to do it now!


Thanks

Mark

It was my understanding that they are still tweaking the v3 version, so they can't post it until it's completed.

That is how it works for now. Also you cannot change the font type, only the size, unless you edit each and every book's css. Luckily Caluibre helps with that.


but yes, it is annoying how the (unreadable anyway) page number "steps on the text".

true, but it is not a new problem. It has always been there for ADE and is also on every other brand of eBook device. I don't see how anyone can blame this release for a problem that was not addressed at all and may not be fixable unless Adobe does it.

Could it be a problem with the formatting of that specific book(s)?

My wife just downloaded a new book in Adobe Epub and I checked it with all 9 zoom levels. The page numbers are to the right and never go inside the margin of text. Looks normal.

Yes, that is always an option. No DRM support but FBReader is getting better although not quite up to ADE IMHO.

I imagine that increasing the RH margin might fix it, but you lose screen space.

That is exactly what I do with epubs. The other three margins I reduce in size. Some fat three digit numbers may sometimes go near a letter occasionally; but it is still readable.

FWIW I use 13 as the R margin and 15.5 as the base font.
The results are tiny numbers and less than 2 letters space lost.
