Got it :-)
The version 1.6 trial now begins. First impressions are good, it's response time is a lot better and as they say, pdfs are also quicker to use. Time will tell wrt other issues Howard Last edited by pthwaite; 05-13-2009 at 09:11 AM. |

Where are you guys getting it from? I haven't seen any links posted and my PC Companion Software and Updater aren't detecting the new update.

Well, if you go to the downloads section you will see a pdf that describes the functionality and inside there is alink to the downloads. That was the quickest way of getting it for me (I've a MAC anyway)
I suspect their server hasn't quite caught up to updating the "Companion Software" update method yet, nor possibly the direct update download page. Howard |

PDF docs open faster indeed
Overall responsiveness/speed of the device has also increased - but perhaps it's just placebo |

First ¿bug?
I was using the reader and I see low battery, then I connect the AC and I continue reading, few minutes later i end with that and I left it on to try the new sleep mode. Well, five minutes later, I try the DR and it takes about 1/2 minutes on wake up, first I was thinking that it was frozen, but no, takes a lot to wake up. I try two times, and the two takes about 1/2 minutes on wake up from sleep. anyone more with this? |

How did you try? Pen or sensor?

Wow! I'm astounded by how much faster PDFs are. There is hardly a pause when turning pages - even if you skip forward many pages.
And the PressReader update is amazing! I'm definitely going to start using that software again. Quote:
Congrats iRex... as long as their aren't any sinister bugs hiding beneath the surface this is an outstanding update. It's convinced me to cancel my Kindle DX order and spend the money on books for my DR1000S instead. |
