I wish "Last Read" would use "Modified Date" so the list would order by the actual book I last accessed, rather than the First time I accessed it.

Recent files is sorted by last read.

I was going to sat "Not on My PEz." (clock-Date set)

The last book I read is at #7
Then I checked.
My File sort is set by ....
Then I went to the root (The only place you can set it)and set it by date and it was as you said.

Ouch!

I really want that list of 100 different series folders, 20 "Author Last name begins with_" folders, Alpha sorted (Ascending) along with their contents.

and I want
"Recently Read" date sorted --Descending . Like Windows can machines do (settings using desktop.in) for each folder

Yea, I was not talking about the sort order set in the menu. I was talking about the choice 1 entry called "Recent Files" which is located on the root menu of both the SD card and the internal memory. (It is a fake folder in that files are not stored there.)

It would be nice to have more options for the menu choices called Sequence but these choices are independent from what happens in "Recent Files". The ones in the menu can be set wherever you are in browsing the file system but the effect is not restricted to just the folder you happen to be in.

That "fake folder" (really a special file on each storage device) unfortunately follows the file sequence settings.
That is why mine initially showed my last book read as #7. I was Alpha sorted.

It is a bug if it is. It should not be following any sequence setting. I have found it isn't always updated correctly. If I start from recent files and then exit the book I am back in recent files but it doesn't update the list until I get out of it and back in. This is a bug for sure and I have reported it. It is also a bug that if you change devices from inside the recent files it doesn't update the list on the other memory. The pocket pro has the bug but the V3 (EZ Reader basic) does not.

Actually I can see keeping them separate.
IMHO
If I switch SD cards, I don't want the error of not found on the current card. The "Recently read" list should stay with the card as it does.

The list does

seem to purge entries that no longer exist because the file was deleted (or moved) externally. You can update the file with corrections without it purging The (last) placemark may not be completely correct

You misunderstood. They are separate and should remain so but when I switch the memory the data about the books read should be current for that particular memory. In the basic it is while on the pocket pro it may not be depending on what you last did in that memory. That is it is updated for the memory when you enter the recently read list from the bookshelf view only.

I don't turn off my Pocket Pro and because of that i never see the time on the reader. Even when I turn a page there is no clock showing. That sort of makes the clock function irrevelent. The only time i see the clock is if i go to the main menu showing the books on the pocket pro.

theducks · 04-03-2010, 11:20 PM

Thr clock and date are important if you check out e-books from your library. You only have the book for so many days, then it expires and can no longer be read on your devices.

Or just put everyone on Stardate.

I'd like to vote for DMY too (although either way would be good)

Press the ok button at any time and you will see the clock, even when it is not present on the screen.

In the new firmware release you will have your choice to set the date however you wish.

Are you saying if I shut off my eReader, the clock is not running therefore, I get longer than the 3 weeks the library allows me to open the book?

No
Turn your reader OFF and the clock resets to default and you book expires because the date was outside the permitted date range.
