Hi there.  Could you please attach a file that exhibits this behavior?  Thanks.

Here is a zip of the entire folder containing Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.

I did a little more testing, and it seems to only be happening on new files.  
If I
open up something that has already been read, and is currently sitting at the 
bottom,
it works fine.

I can't seem to reproduce this. :(  Dorothy loads fine no matter what I try.

Are you seeing the loading icon when you open a book from the file browser?  
That should never happen.  The 
loading icon only appears upon opening the program from the SpringBoard.

I'm only seeing the loading icon when I start from the SpringBoard.  The problem
happens when I choose a file from the browser.  I click on the file, see the 
first
page of text for about 1 second, then the screen goes blank.  Same problem with 
color
inverted or not.  What files do I need to remover to completely uninstall 
Books. 
Removing all prefs, etc... ?

I do have a bunch of other apps installed as well from Installer App.  i wonder 
if
something is conflicting...  I'll try uninstalling some other stuff and see 
what happens.

Installed: Books, NES, ToDoList, iLight, LightsOff, TTR, Mines, Money, VNotes,
SendSong, Squid, Ulctl, rSBT, SMBPrefs, Installer, Frotz, & Summerboard

Ok, I think I have figured out what is causing the problem now.  It is not the 
files
that I included before.  It's a different book, but once the problem happens it 
seems
to affect all files.

The problem comes from these lines in the html file.  Once I remove the 
stylesheet
references (which don't actually exist in my directory structure), the file 
works
fine.  It seems that the program is trying to load the style sheets, doesn't 
find
them, and frieks out.  I can reproduce this problem with the file attached now 
by
deleting the preference file and then opening up books and loading that file.  
It
then causes the other files for other books to exhibit the same problem.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../master.css" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
@import url(../user.css);
@import url(.../user.css);
</style>

So at least now I know what's wrong.  I'm not sure if it's the @import, or the 
<link>
tag but that should give you an idea of what's causing it now.

thanks for the program.  Been loving it!

It appears to be the @import directives that are causing the problem.  Working 
on a fix now.

wahoo!  I made it to the high priority list!
I thought it must be that, because when images or links are in the html, it 
still
works fine, so the <link> tag didn't make sense because it's just linking to
something, while the @import tries to pull it in on loading.

Rockin' app.  Definitely the one that's used the most on my phone.  I've just 
been
using MobileTextEdit and MobileFinder to fix chapters before I read them, but 
once
you're finished with this fix my entire library will work great!

Autoscrolling in version 2.0 and I'll be able to read while I eat lunch. hehe
