I guess the postponed flag only applies to the DRM format. Could that make you happy CommanderROR?

Yep...I can live without DRM for a while...or forever...^^
but page-breaks in HTML is something I'd love to have...ah...TODAY! The PDF viewer is a bit of a pain, and with that feature added the HTML viewer could be really good.. |

btw. It's late now and a bit dark, and I noticed that eink needs good lighting or the contrasts get a bit weak...it's readable, but not as good as paper in dimmer light....

Damn, when is note taking going to be implemented? I can't imagine buying one of these ebook devices without that kind of feature. Especially something as expensive as the Iliad.

well...noteteking works..to a certain extent. You can't annotate yet, but you can write/draw on the screen...you even get lined paper if you like...
It isn't perfect yet, and the wacom features aren't really put to use, but it's a beginning. |

2.5 should come out the last week of this month...
Seems they are aiming at two updates per month. |

I read mention of scrolling in HTML files. I see a scrollbar, but haven't been able to work out how to actually initiate the scroll.
I've tried clicking in the scrollbar, and pressing those little up and down arrow hardware keys, but no success with either of those ideas. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks. |
