Hi,
once the user has many ebooks listed in the device library, say few hundreds, it is pretty difficult to go thru the list to find the book one needs. Does the library have a search functionality to help finding or filtering books by (part of) author name or by (part of) book title ?

Hello Daniel,
Thanks for your message. If you have a large library, we recommend you use folders to organise it and then activate the Folder View via the menu. This will make it much easier to navigate. There is no search function in the library at this time. If you like, you can make feature requests directly by using the contact form on our site.
Best regards,

Hi,
Will there be support for djvu any time soon? I think it would be very useful.
Thanks.

Hello Gospod,
support for djvu is not planned at this time. It’s a format which is not really adapted to reading on a small screen, since it is not reflowable. We recommend you choose epub format instead.

Hi,
I have the “La Feltrinelli” edition of the Odyssey, upgraded with the latest firmware (v1481).
When I put the device in stand-by it turns automatically on in about 24 hours.
I’ve tryied to do a reset (reinitialization), but the problem remains.
This problem is not present if I completely turn off the device.
Other people have this issue:

Hi
I see that you are rapidly upgrading the firmware. Nonetheless I still I have big problems in USB connection. Acually I am unable to see the reader through my Windows 7 system. It is the case to send the device for a repair?

Hi Manolis,
I’ve written to support more than 1 week ago, but no answers yet.
BTW with the last firmware (v1485) I find the odyssey shutted down instead of “on” discharging the battery.
