That's a good idea regarding the larger base font. I had been using 10. Definitely will try this to shrink the numbers. Thanks TheDucks.

I hope it works as well on a V3.

In Calibre. Go to preferences, conversion, page setup, margins.

No, none in the reader. Your welcome.

Ok.. I am not finding anything wrong with the firmware. I really can't count margin/ page numbering issues because that seems to happen with modified ebooks. Another epub I downloaded works fine as well.

Nice to have the latest Astak firmware that matches Jink's latest.! Thanks again Robert

Dear Counter:

You are very welcome! Glad we could get this done for you and others.

I am very happy that you are here posting on our forum; and we value everyone's insight!

The next two weeks or so will be a mess due to the CES show. Astak effectively transports all staff to that show to man the booth. However, much more will get done in actuality as we can talk face-to-face with the factories and get more done than we can by phone or email. Astak already knows (but cannot even hint on specifics) that we will have major news to announce at CES. The models for all of 2010 will be shown (at least in prototype) so we hope that the media and reviewers will pick up the stories!!

I've tried OpenInkpot for a while but a few days ago I installed the latest Astak firmware. With regards to the page numbers, I too used Calibre to set the right margins at 16 to avoid the paged numbers being merged with the text.

One thing that I really like with the LBOOK's version of the firmware is the copy/delete/move functionality (BTW, this is missing in OpenInkpot too..). I think the ePUB books are displayed far better with the HANLIN firmware (or clones of it) than with the FBReader used by OpenInkpot.
