Good to hear that you (iRex) keep on publishing (most of) the code for the DR-readers!

That's right. Most of them are using ADE for ePub/PDF and FBReader for Mobi.

One thing I've noticed is that if I try to delete an item, the whole folder seems to get marked for deletion. As I had no desire to lose everything, I abandoned the delete so I don't know whether or not it would have deleted everything. Ah, I've just worked out how it works. You select the items after you choose to delete, slightly different from 1.7

Wrt zooming on pdfs anyway, the selection works just as the previous one, the only drawback is that once you have zoomed in, if you want to zoom out, the only option is to go back to full screen and to then re-select. It could do with a few "default" levels of zoom.

It works fine in Landscape or portrait.

In general I like it, just sort it so I can merge my scribbles on the pdfs and export them to others please

Dear Mathijs,
Thanks for the link, but unless I'm missing something, it does not describe how the reflow works. I mean, if I zoom to a custom, hand chosen area of the page, will it adjust the page so that I don't have to scroll to left, right etc? I am looking for a more functional description of the feature

Best Regards
Seref

Sarikan,

you're question is not clear (to me)... I think you're mixing up reflow and zoom.
Reflow: parses the text from a formatted pdf file and displays this plain text using a default (sans serif) font. You can then choose a different font size, to make the text more readable.
Zoom: zooms in to a hand chosen area of the pdf file, while conserving the formatting/ layout of the original. You can then move through the page with the pan tool (the hand shapped icon). If you skip to the next page, the zoom is preserved to the same coordinates on the new page and at the same zoom level.

Pauli,
Exactly the answer I was looking for

Thanks.
