Sorry to hear you're having trouble using Freda. If you send me a bit more detail of what's going wrong, I will sort it out.
The most common difficulty that people experience with getting Freda installed is that it requires an up-to-date version of the Windows .Net compact Framework, and not all OEM device builds include that. If that happens, you should get an error message about the Framework version when you try to launch the app. You just need to download (from Microsoft) the updated Framework, and install it. Detailed instructions are in Freda's manual
Thanks,
Jim

I had already loaded NETCF v3.5.
However, reloading it with latest download got Freda going.
MS should be more consistent in their naming schemes.

First looks is OK though the long initial pagination is a problem.
One of the use I plan to put Freda to is to use it as a reference device - handling large 100~1000kb text files. Game guides.

The pagination delay is unacceptable for this purpose.

At least that is my first impression.

The pagination process should be much faster the second time you open the same book (because Freda will cache the pagination data). It still isn't really instantaneous (for that, you will have to wait for 'Freda 2', which is in the works ...)
