I know the "other" voting wasn't as high as I'd have expected, but I DO think that's misleading. I think if you actually look through the thread, at the actual posts, that a lot more people were thinking "other" than is obvious from the straight poll results (because you can post and chime in about something not in the poll choices without actually voting in the poll---and I bet a lot of people did that).

There really is no need for a delete function. Deleting books can be done through Calbre. However, I would like the option of turning reflow on or off when reading PDF books.

That assumes everyone uses Calibre to manage their libraries, which i assure you is NOT the case. You can delete the books from within windows too but being able to do basic library management from the device itself will be a big step forward.

Only by people who use Calibre, and then only when they have a connection to Calibre. The Delete and Copy functions in the Bookshelf are very handy, and the alternate function of the Open command to avoid opening an EPUB in ADE is priceless.

I see several people have already chimed in here, but I'll put in my 2 cents. I would really like to see a delete option. If I start reading a book that I decide really doesn't interest me, it would be much easier to just delete it from my Pocket Pro then and there, rather than leaving it on for the next time I connect it to my computer. I can go several weeks between hooking up to my computer, and although I do use calibre, I'd rather not have to hook up just to delete a book. Also, I read a lot of fan fiction. Some of it is really good - others... not so much. Sometimes the grammar is just so terrible, I can't get through more than a few pages. So it would be helpful to just delete it, and go on to the next story. An alternative to this (although I would think delete would be much easier) would be to have the ability to move the file to a directory of my choice, then just delete everything in that directory next time I connect to my computer. But deleting the file would be much simpler.

Part of the rationale of e-ink devices is how long you can use it in isolation. Its why its such a big deal that the battery lasts so long. Therefore its kind of silly to insist that trucking on home, powering up your PC, and hooking the device up should be necessary to do something as simple as BASIC file maintenance. |

PM: look at the responses and not just poll or die!!

Yes, yes, yes!! You are right. It is too easy for him to just look at the poll. I will ensure that at least Typography and Delete Function and latest ADE are brought to his attention! Personally, I have been doing this forum now for almost two years (since when it was one thread for the first year and more). I will admitthat one thing always mentioned was a "delete" function on the device. It has not been shoutwed out or anything... but it is persistant. I think it is time we look into adding that. I will admit I know nothing about typography but the people wanting it are top-line people on this forum and I trust them. JS Wolf really knows the technical side of this and I trust him! |

As long as there is going to be a firmware update, can there be a hardware update to use the new eink screens?

The factory ships with the original FW, Users update that at home. (ECO's cost money. Even if it is only the SW load on the chip. There needs to be a new stock number. Test procedures must be updated to include new values of part ID and other parameter changes. Cheaper to do it this way ) |

What I want most for my Mentor Lite is the ability to search for books. If you have many books on your device it is a pain to get to the one you want since you have to click thru page after page until you get to the book. It would be so much better if I could just search by title or author.

1. Option for closing the clock to save power.
2. Accurate page number display for .txt files. 3. Book title in status bar. Last edited by binbinbook; 07-12-2010 at 10:46 PM. |
