What “other wrinkles”????????? I didn’t see anything in the comments at MobileRead; there was one comment (somewhat cryptic) on the Bookeen Blog that implies something is wrong in reading Adobe Acrobat files…but no details.
Anybody?
Hi, Fred. From the Bookeen blog:
“Build 708 will fix that regression and also provide you with the whole version of firmware 1.1 with a little plus: hyphenation support in mobipocket files. Also, the author’s name will now appear in the header of your book if indicated in the book’s description.”

Thanks,

Saw that, generally “other wrinkles” means “more problems”, so I was wondering if new bugs had been added.
Well, Fred, here’s one Issue. I still can’t read books from the Fairfax County Public library on my Cybook loaner from Bookeen even though I did the later upgrade. Perhaps I did something wrong. I’d love to hear from other people to see if they still have problems with the Cybook displaying books from OverDrive’s library service. I intend to check into this and get a more definitive answer. I’m also having problems right now with OverDrive working with my Palm TX. Oh, the joys of DRM!
Even if it is my fault, I shouldn’t have to subject myself to all this torture. Library e-books should just work.
If Amazon ever does libraries, which I suspect it might someday, it could MURDER OverDrive with a smooth, well-integrated solution. In fact I wonder if Mobi’s library-related flaws are still there partly because Amazon wants to muscle in on OverDrive’s business eventually.
For now, I notice, OverDrive seems to focus mainly on Adobe books. I wonder why
Not that Adobe is a DRM paragon!
Thanks,
David
