Doesn't it imply both being present when he writes that the clock will be "near where the Battery Charge icon is"? On the Lbook firmware they co-exist side by side, and also with the page count/total pages data. All three are there. An improvement that I would like to see is to have the battery charge indicator steps be in 1% or 10% increments instead of the current 25% increments.

Works out quite well. It will be interesting to see if the clock is optional or not. |

I don't know how up to date Jinke keep their source code repository but the fb2 parser available to download in the lbook version dated 20081223. Robert, it is a bit late for this new firmware update, but can I request for the next update we have the current fb2 parser compiled in? The Coolreader source repository has not been updated in a while but with the source being GPL'd surely the latest can be requested from LBook. |

promised eReader support
Quote:
Dealing with Fictionwise (owners of eReader) alone was an easy and wonderful thing. We expected and saw no problem. Then, in an instant, Fictionwise got purchased by Barnes & Noble. Nobody saw it coming. Suddenly 2 page contracts became 60 page contracts, prices went way up, and that horrible word "EXCLUSIVITY" started appearing. Exclusivity often means you cannot have more than one format on the device. Trying to get clarification is a 9 week event going thru B&N lawyers and you really cannot understand the clarification anyway as it is not clear (no offence intended towards B&N). Please be aware that Astak has no control over things like this. Everybody seems to be buying up the smaller players and that changes all the rules. We are still actively pursuing eReader and if enough lawyers get out of the way and talk plain old English we may still be able to make this work. It is frustrating for you, I know... but more frustrating for us. We WANT to provide it to you. |

Dictionary is coming!
Dear javed:
The factory engineers are on this and Dale DePriest (moderator) is helping. The factory seems to be on the right path. Yes, I hoped it would be in this Firmware Upgrade also, but it is not. Some things take a bit longer. I will stay on this, I have long battled for it, and the factory and I will talk eye-to-eye at CES about the need and what the schedule is. |

Exactly helpful

This is what I needed. Clear and succinct. I will include this in my once weekly request to the factory engineers! I want to get this LIT thing straightened out and solved! |

Coexist side-by-side
Quote:
No, they will not remove or cover over the Battery Charge icon. It will go just to the left of it from what they told me. Somebody else wrote about 10% increments on the Battery Charge Life meter. Remember, it is a rough guide and not a gas gauge on a car (although they aren't too exact either lately). Please do not look at that gauge as an infallible and exact measurement. Essentially, it is to tell you: "you are fine on charge, you are fine but getting low, you have a problem coming soon if you do not recharge, and recharge or I will throw a temper tantrum".

I am so excited that it is in development and just to know that it is actually going to happen. I can definitely be patient and wait a bit longer, as it is worth waiting for. Thanks also to Engineers and DaleDe for working on this. Last edited by Javed; 12-03-2009 at 03:32 PM. |
