Searching for Google eBooks on Story HD
I've only had my Story HD a month, but I love it. It does everything I want in an ebook reader. But I'm curious about one feature I don't use: getting ebooks directly from Google on the device. How is searching for a book supposed to work?
When I type in a search that has more than 6 matches, it shows as more than one page--but how do you get to the second page? I can go down as far as "Page 1 of 17", but pushing down, right, or enter from there does nothing. Can anyone make this work? I asked about it at Google, and they said it was a hardware problem and to contact iriver. I emailed iriver, and they said to try updating to the newest firmware and try resetting the device (thanks, bottom-level helpdesk guy!). Nobody seems to acknowledge this as a defect in the UI. Is no one using this feature at all? |

All fixed now
It seems they've silently fixed the issue. The right arrow goes to the next page now.

So I finally downloaded a free book from Google eBooks on my Story HD. It was very very slow. I reckon I'll just keep "sideloading".
