I have tried it. And it seems that the books that show up on the home screen are now the books I have set, from the sd card as my current reads and where before for the the first few seconds, the books that showed on home screen were the ones loaded from the desktop then the sd card ones would replace them. I like the idea of the actual books I am reading being the ones that show up!

Does 2.3.2 correct the 'return to improper position in text' after home screen bug?

I'm guessing that people say it looks like crap for two reasons:
1. It is unbalanced (there is too much weight on the bottom) which makes it harder for some people to read. The bottom-heavy bit is part of the point of the font since dyslexic people claim it is easier for them to read, so there isn't much that can be done about that. 2. It looks like a graphic font and a lot of people have a knee-jerk reaction against graphic fonts. I'm guessing that is because a lot of people find most graphic fonts harder to read, or think of it as style over substance. If the font works for you, then use it. It doesn't work for some of us, so we don't use it. The wonderful thing about ereaders is that it gives us the choice. |

Yes adjusting the wieght would be good. It has made reading a lot more pleasant for me, but when the front light is on, it can look a bit faded. Georgia with full weight looks better with the light on, but OpenDyslexic benefits me more still.

Edit: Selecting "show on page" from a bookmark menu still goes to the wrong page too. (2-3 full pages before the page with the bookmark on, going by the page numbers at the bottom of the page.) Last edited by GeoffR; 12-23-2012 at 10:40 PM. |

I'm still waiting to the 2.3.2 update and notice there haven't been any comments on it since the 24th - is it still being rolled out or has it been put on hold?
Anybody have any updates on it? |
