Hello list


I checked the new version, seems to be working fine. It has the RTL 
support as in the previous versions !

When I switched phone lang to Hebrew, I had book names in Hebrew, but 
the interface wasn't translated and also the book names were not exactly 
what I send - my guess it's the old files.

Is it possible to let the user change the app lang, and override system 
lang ?

BTW, could you remove the "document" name from title? I find these 
usefulness compares to full book name, ie.


Michael
