any idea on when 0.3 final might be released? I see from the wiki that 49% of tickets have been worked through for 0.3, which is amazing!

I will be buying an n516 so thought I would ask. Seems your software is the best e-reader software and even compares to Kindle with their millions of $ support :-)

hi dottedmag thanks for your comment, I know, but it is no great flaw to be impatient :P

I have got my n516 now!.

I tried to flash it last night but I couldnt see how to push the rotate button in ?

the screen would always first boot to
Charging
Data transfer options page.

Also on windows it was recognized as a mass storage device, and i didnt have option to install the driver.

I tried IRC but there is no one there, do you know how I can flash it / reach the different boot screen?

I cannot open epub files with FBReader in 0.3-rc1. In library mode the title and author are not displayed any more which seemed to work in the previous version. Switching back to 0.2.2 for the moment.
