Aldiko Reader on Archos 70 Internet Tablet

I recently purchased an Archos 70 Internet Tablet in lieu of a eBook reader (My wife got the Kindle instead) so that I might have more fun than just reading books. Using the initial release, which was Android 2.1, I had no problems with the Aldiko reader. After the update to 2.2 (Very nice...) I have noticed some oddities.

Using the Aldiko reader from the Google Marketplace (Yay!, look for GappsForArchos2.APK) I have noticed that, when viewing in portrait mode, the text is cut off at the bottom of the page. Here are the settings that I use to mediate this issue:

- Launch Aldiko
- Open the 'Settings' dialog
-- Go to 'Font Settings'
--- Set 'Font Size' to 20
--- Set 'Font Weight' to Bold
-- Go to 'Layout Settings'
--- Set 'Line Spacing' to 1.6
--- Set 'Vertical Margins' to 30

All should be good; go forth and READ!
