I just tried it an it worked for me.

If you need detailed description just let me know

Thanks but this way it didn't work with the Google Appstore. However it did work with

1. rooting the device
2. Install Safari to Go manually (http://blog.safaribooksonline.com/20...dle-fire-nook/ )

It's f**king great to have all the E-Books from Safari on the Onyx M96.

I've attached a quick screenshot. Unfortunately it doesn't really represent the crystal clear quality of the e-books but you'll get the point.

I've found another strange bug.
The selection mode makes the screen rotate 180 degrees.
Hmm

When I tried updating cool reader through the play store, it didn't seem to like that and said that the package was not signed correctly. I think because it was already installed on my t68, even though it does not show in the apps menu. Will it being removed by default fix this?

Also, will upgrading to the version here allow give the user root access?

After installing the update, I have problems with crop.

In OnyxReader autocrop works fine, but "Selection " gives problems. I can not adjust the margins with the stylus.

In the NeoReader "Selection " does not do anything, clicking the menu disappears, and "autocrop" does not work fine, from 2-5 does not change, and 5-6 is enormous change

Given the nature of this reader, one leg would be necessary tool to backup our system, if by accident the damaged or non-functional desconfiguramos to do.

The firmware output is functional, but it is immature. Major upgrading is needed.
Something is urgent to improve the management of the SD card, which is removed when we connect the reader to the PC and the beginning of the boot, takes a long time to access the content files.
In browsing through folders no details of dates.

Detailed instructions for dictionary management, supplies, etc. are needed.

A greeting -.

You can try it though.

Are you actively trying to prevent people of installing this update? What happens if one would try it, and it fails? Can the default firmware be re-installed in some way?

If this T68 update provides English, and removes pre-installed apps and Polish stuff such as the bookstore and Polish TTS then that would actually be an advantage. (I'm not Polish, so it's of no use to me.)

when you click selection zoom you can touch the screen and then drag.
In dragging, there is a highlight region. When you release finger, it just zoom the selection region

In later version we will add a message how to use this tool, after click on selective zoom..

I am not preventing, just warning it could possibly not work (installation will be aborted with an error message). It will not cause any damage or changes on Lynx.

Can you tell how to find out which version I have?

Katsunami · 07-03-2014, 08:13 AM

This is a bit unclear:

"It could possibly not work" -> This means there is also a chance that it WILL work.
"Installation will be aborted with an error message" -> This means it is certain that it won't work.

Do you mean that if it DOESN'T work, the installation will just be aborted, and nothing will be changed, and if it DOES work, the installation will proceed and you'll get a working reader with this non-Lynx firmware?

If you bought your T68 in Artatech store, you will have a Lynx. You can also watch your original box. It should be labelled as Lynx. In our store we don't sell Lynx version.

Katsunami · 07-03-2014, 08:48 AM

Which is the Artatech Store, and which is "our store" please?

Dutch stores are importing this reader, so they're getting it at different places, and we probably can't find out which places those are. IF the original box does NOT state Lynx, then we can install the forthcoming T68 update mentioned above?

I don't have a Lynx and therefore cannot test it. What I know for sure, some customers from Russia tried to install our update to their version of T68 and it did not work. There are three versions on the market: our T68, Lynx and Russian T76 Nefertiti. When installation fails by Nefertiti (installation aborted with error message ) I just can assume, that it will not work for Lynx users too.

Katsunami · 07-03-2014, 08:51 AM

Which is "our version"?

Lynx == Artatech version with Polish store and TTS
T76 == Russian version
All other T68 == "Official Boox International" version

Is it like this?

Billi · 07-03-2014, 09:36 AM

Katsunami, if you want to buy at your Dutch store - why don't you ask them? They should know much better what they are selling than Booxtor.

And according to the description on their website it could be the Artatech version. They mention Lynx somewhere and they mention the Ivona tts.
