It was a hardware issue where the screen needed constant calibration. From what I gathered on Peppers forums, this is a rare problem with only one other person I know of who had it. To their credit they contacted me back immediately and provided a free shipping label. I am currently awaiting a new one and will give FBReader a try as soon as possible.

Glad to hear the good news about eCost. So what do you think of the Pad? I hope you'll try FBReader on it and give us a report. Thanks, David Hi, LC. Glad to hear the good news about eCost.

For my interests (language learning e-books), HTML is not a good enough format. Sure, I could hack HTML into submission for some of my goals, but it will require so much javascript, that it will not work in anything but a full-blown browser. I invite Bill to replicate the functionality of the Pocket e-Sword. so that it works well in IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Maybe that’s why Pepper Pad is integrating FBRReader despite already having a built in Firefox web browser. [...] [...] I am with David here and mostly for the reasons he pointed out.

That is correct. The image on ecost shows a Pepperpad 2 “presumably not the latest model.”
