I have the impression I used to be able to, also, but not now.

No. Or at least not that particular wierd thing. /etc/hosts has it
listed as vfat. It does say "noauto", which seems odd, but I didn't do
it. And it does always seem to be mounted when I check.

I fiddled with this. When they're visible, they do the "wrong thing".
That is, what you want is really (by default, and therefore you would
hope with the most easily accessible button) to read the next bit of
text that's off the screen, and these buttons move to the next page,
even when it's only the top half of this page that I'm seeing.
When they're not visible, I have trouble finding them, but it turns out
that you can reposition the page both horizontally and vertically by
moving the stylus, so that's a better way to "read" than anything I'd
found before. Still not as good for reading in bed as what FBReader
does with the +/- rocker switch on top, but at least you can imagine
reading a (short) book that way.

I was going to guess that, too, which is why I didn't do lots of poking
around repositories to see why they're screwed up.

Thus, for instance, the Liberal party (to which I belong) was, in its
period of exile, always saying, "0 for a Gladstone!" and such
things. We were always asking that it might be strengthened from
above, instead of ourselves strengthening it from below, with our hope
and our anger and our youth. Every man was waiting for a leader. Every
man ought to be waiting for a chance to lead.
