Frontlight and large libraries
I found my Odyssey was extremely slow at browsing through my library even in folder mode, insisting on reloading thumbnails every time I went into a folder. Does the Frontlight have a similar problem?

Not sure. I have a very large library, but I have ordered my folders like /k/Stephen King/books, so each folder just has a few books in it. Browsing through the folders is fast, and yes, the thumbnails will be redrawn every time, but I do not notice any delay.

Hm, no delay? I frequently need an entire minute to get out of a folder I've been reading a book in because it insists on redrawing every thumbnail between me and the beginning of the folder. It's a problem.

I have heard (well, read!) about that issue which seems to affect few Odyssey devices, but I don't know how you could get rid of it. Why don't you just contact Bookeen Support? (see Bookeen home page, bottom left)

I have 3000+ books on my Odyssey HD. Works like a charm....

The Frontlight keeps the thumbnails for the books on SD card and just reads them again next time you need them. So browing a directory is slow once, fast the next times. It stores them on the SD card btw. |

If it's like the Gen3 and Orizon, it keeps each thumbnail (a .thn file) where the book is, same with .bin and .dat files (annotations are in a different directory, but still on the card or main memory, together with the book they refer to).

This problem is no longer present in the most recent firmware.
