Thanks. I did pick up 2.0, and I seem to have exchanged one bug for
another: the problem with disappearing lines appears to have vanished,
but now I have disappearing pages! For instance, in The Prisoner of
Zenda, if I immediately select "Read Book", I should end up in the
table of contents, but the page is completely blank. This problem is
easily worked around: if I just go to the next page and back, the
missing text mysteriously reappears, so I guess it is an improvement
(I wasn't able to discover so easy a workaround for the disappearing
line problem).

(It still doesn't use the game button, but I guess you can't have
everything.)

For you Bindery users: is there a conversion mechanism for either HTML
or Adobe Acrobat (PDF)? I have a document available in either format,
and if I could easily convert it to BookReader and have it on my
Zoomer, the cost of Bindery would be easily justifiable.
