Robert,

I currently have the Lbook firmware on my PP, and I like the rounded menus. Is that an option with this new firmware?

I am having issues with .lit files on my Pocket Pro as well.

The biggest one seems to be with books that have HTML links to outside web pages (author fan sites and such) They dont display and Caliber tends to choke on format shifting them.

Just went to the firmware page on theezreader.com and everything says undefined so I don't know what to download.

If you break out of the flash, it works.

@Omro

The website occasionally does that. It is the third one down for the Pocket Pro latest firmware.

that is an lBook feature. Not even Hanlin has that feature. If you want lBook you will have to load lBook. They would have to give permission for Hanlin to take their code.

The fact that Calibre chokes is certainly not Hanlin or Astaks problem. The pocket pro does not support web browsing so outside web links cannot work.

I am aware of this. I think the rest of us are, too. It is just one of those unfortunate things that happens. If B&N doesn't know what is good for them, then that is their problem. I don't think anyone can hold this against yew.

But there ARE things that are the responsibility of Astak. The .lit, which apparently they are working on, and also look at HTML. That could use some work as well. Oh, and some kind of in device file management would be nice... Others are asking for working bookmarks and dictionaries. The list goes on.

But as for ereader, sigh, I guess we have to let that one go. I really don't ever expect it, given the current circumstances. It will be a nice bonus for us if it ever occurs.

I am beginning to think maybe yew ARE listening to us.

I like that.

Are you certain of that? Isn't the software GPL'd?

If it is, why doesn't Astak have the latest FB2 parser?

According to the Sourceforge CoolReader page, the CoolReader engine is GPL licensed.

It is understood that no battery remaining charge indicator can be totally accurate, since remaining charge is affected by many factors and the discharge curve is not a straight line anyway. However, the finer granularity of charge indication, like OpenInkpot has, is still quite useful in monitoring your rate of charge usage.

Absolutely, if nothing else, you can get to learn how it behaves, and judge for yourself how long it will last, similar to what you do with a fuel gauge in a car.

I've just about reached the same conclusion about eReader. I've started getting ePub versions of the few books I view as essential and deleted my links to B&N and eReader.com. This reminds me of what happened when "the big boys" took ownership of a word processor I once used. It was called Wordstar and was pretty good, but desperately in need of an update. Old line executives don't seem to understand the finer points of the digital economy.

Ahhh... Wordstar! Dot commands, control key short cuts, really the best most flexible word processor I ever used...
