This made me rage and immediately switch back to kindle stock.

Hope they improve it since I really like the UI.

I pop the DRM on all my Amazon purchases immediately after buying them, so Duokan's understandable inability to handle protected books isn't so important to me.

What bugs me is the display of English text. The way random words get jammedtogether likethis and the weird spacing after apostrophes (like isn' t or won' t or they' ll) are what keeps me jumping back to the Kindle firmware.

But then the superior PDF viewing keeps me jumping back to Duokan again...

If I'm reading ebooks in epub or mobi formats, I go for stock firmware. If I'm viewing image files or pdfs, Duokan is the best. Wish it were more instantaneous to switch between the firmwares.

A lot of dead-tree books have the title and/or chapter printed at the top of each page. It hardly seems to be something to "rage" over.
