Unfortunately, we need to delay the next software release by a couple of days. We were working on a compatibility issue with some EPUB books and managed to find a fix just today. We think it is worthwhile to patch this bug before we release. We do not think it will take more than a few days to implement and test the patch. We sincerely regret the delay, but we do believe it is in our customers’ best interest.
