thanks for the info and help in understanding that I am a full rev behind and need to upgrade. Is there a listing of the changes to the upgraded firmware?

Hmm... if the hardware is the same I wonder why there's such a problem. |

I've successfully installed the JetBook firmware on my Libre (received today). The information on how to do it is here:

Libre firmware v.16 not for all
Checking with Aluratek's Tech Support, I learn that the firmware v.16 may not be needed by most users, since it is intended to: 1.fix the eject problem on MAC; 2.fix the time sync issue with PC; and 3.fix/update internal Adobe Digital Edition Support.
Bottom line was, TSupport suggested staying comfortably with v.15 for now. ------------------- Quote:

For the jetBook Lite, is there a difference between firmware versions 0.15d and 0.15d-b which is currently posted at the Ectaco web page?

That's a great question as the date on the folder is April 1 and the firmware itself has a March 25 date. It would be nice if they included a revision history somewhere in the package so we would know what the difference is between versions.

Yeah, it's obviously a small change because they didn't even bother to change the letter from "d" to "e". I agree it would be nice if Ectaco let us know what changes they made when there's a new firmware version.

It is confusing, looking at it I wonder if the "-b" means Beta.
So is the 0.15d-b a Beta version before the release version 0.15d? Or, is it that there was a 0.15d, then a 0.15d-a, then a 0.15d-b? Luck; Ken |

I had gone to the Ectaco jetbook forum to see if there was any information about 0.15d-b. Someone had asked about it, but there was no reply. But there was no mention of 0.15d-b prior to 0.15d. And as Number_6 has mentioned, the firmware file has a date of March 25. So I'm guessing that the 0.15d-b is a newer posting than 0.15d.

Well I flashed to the JBL 0.15g, and all seems well, so far. I don't have any idea what
might have changed, it seems the same as the 0.15 I had running before. I did notice that it's on Patch v16 now, as well. Luck; Ken P.S. I flashed the 0.15g firmware on the Ectaco FTP page that "tselling" posted, not the link in the "sticky". Last edited by Ken Maltby; 06-28-2010 at 09:04 PM. |

I just received my replacement Jetbook from Ectaco this morning and it is using Firmware 34C. All is well with it.

Jerry has posted the JBL 0.16b BETA that he has been checking out, over at the
Ectaco Forum site. He said earlier that it still had some bugs, so I guess he might be interested in what we find. (I put a link to Jerry's post in a non-sticky thread today) I just flashed mine and it shows "Software: v0.16b Patch: v16". It shows "Reader Mobile" by Adobe... Version 9.1.1" for PDF "About" menu item. The PDF reflow looks pretty good, to me. PDFs that the JBL used to treat as full page images are now treated as they are on my PC. More important to me my Calibre generated epubs still look good, in some ways better than before. The way the "Font/Zoom" is working on the epubs may take some getting used to though. It seems to be handling my PDB eReader DRM books OK, but it's not asking for my unlock data so I am not sure. The PDB books seem to still function as before. I'm not sure what "bugs" Jerry was seeing, but I've just started with it. Luck; Ken The "Background Music" settings for epubs, might be one? Last edited by Ken Maltby; 07-27-2010 at 08:16 PM. |
