PocketBook 602 full page update and more
Hi all,

I just received a brand-new PocketBook 602. Did anyone experience problems with "Full Page Update" setting in Configuration->Appearance menu? It has no effect at all. A whole page flashes every time I turn the page no matter what option I set for it.
See the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ogvI0Cxt94

Also, the "Quick Access Menu" has no "Settings" option. Instead it has "Zoom". I can't change font size, line spacing, etc. See the attached picture.

What format file? DRM'ed or not.
Try press-and-hold and look for an "OPEN WITH" option.
You should get a choice of reader apps.

Adobeviewer has no settings as such; it simply uses zoom factors, like most other implementations of mobile ADE. You can zoom in by clicking the 4-way control up. There are no Font or margin cntrols because Adobe believes it is up to the publisher to control how their books are displayed.

FBReader, on the other hand, does have a settings option. But it only works for DRM-free ebooks.

Details, details...

I think my PB360 ignore the Full Page Update setting too, but I just ignore it. It would be great to get fixed, however.

Info: 15.3 lastest beta, but I think the problem hold for the older ones too.

I played with different book formats and here are the results:
epub - no "settings" menu. I am not sure if it's DRM'ed. How do I check?
fb2 - now I see the "Settings" menu.

Another thing which I can't explain: "full page update" setting now works for fb2 book, but it is ignored for epub books. What's the deal here?

@fjtorres: How do I get to "OPEN WITH" menu? Which button should I hold on which screen? I tried holding "OK" button in Library but only get context menu with "OPEN" option and some other. "OPEN WITH" is missing.

The file is DRM'ed if you had to use ADE on a PC to get the file on the reader.
FB2 is always DRM-free and it only opens with FBReader.

I didn't use ADE. I just copied the book onto the reader. I also tried epubs that were pre-installed.
