[APRIL FOOLS] New original jetBook firmware - 0.35a!
After missing the December deadline... and the March deadline... at least they got it out one day later! Looks like B&N DRM support has been added and it seems a bit faster... though of course it's hard to tell whether that is subjective or not. Also they added variable zoom for PDF!!! Check out out:

eReader DRM us rather useless. Should have been ADE with Adobe's DRM added instead

If this is an "April 1st joke", it's not funny.
The links on that page don't seem to work. They show a 0.15d-b JBL update link as well. |

To update your jetBook to version 0.33g (Aug 17,2009) click here. (48,5 MB)
To update your jetBook-Lite to version 0.15d-b (Jan 11,2010) click here. (52,7 MB) Jetbook link to 33g works. JBL link to 15d is broken. Got the same on both pages that show downloads. Methinks we've been had. Last edited by GhostHawk; 04-01-2010 at 09:46 PM. |

Had me fooled for awhile. Wouldn't be surprised if you could pull of the same thing next year

To be honest, it's not all that funny.

OK. So is there or is -not- there a .34 firmware version? I've spent the last 2 1/2 hrs searching, and all I ended up with was the same v 0.33g, v13 patch I started out with.
Anyone? PLEASE? |

So where can I go to get IT!!???
The jetBook.net site is no help, and since I ordered it through newegg, ecTaco is a big zero as well. |

Do I understand that the first post was an April Fool joke?
(If so, maybe it could now be marked as such, to keep people from tearing their hair out looking....) |

What .Rob. is talking about are the various threads on different 0.34 versions and the fact that 0.34c (which is available on newer jetbooks) is not available for download on jetbook.net. |
