I'm passing on the beta
Given that we all have very grave doubts about the company's continued existence, I'm personally passing on the beta. I'll wait until it's "final version" release. Last thing I need is for the company to go under and be left with an eDGe I *might* be able to roll back to a working version...
EDIT: Keep in mind that doing the rollback from Ermine to the current Dingo version will require you to re-register your eDGe. If the enTourage registration server is no longer up, you won't be able to do the Adobe registration part, which means you will no longer be able to read purchased eBooks on the eInk side. By passing on the beta, you retain the ability to read purchased books, at least until such time as you need to do a factory reset (which most people don't).

I have two Edges (the second from a desparate seller on eBay) so I'll do the upgrade on one of them.

As long as EE are still available around, how could they close it? |

Is there a way to back up our eDGe's as they are now? Can we image them somehow . . . or copy ALL files and folders by USB to our desktop computers from the root and deeper to be restored later by USB?
Is the eDGe registration with Amazon a matter of copying a file from somewhere on the eDGe? Or I suppose if something happened and I "bricked" my device, I might try to root the eDGe with these instructions from "the Android Police" http://goo.gl/S1PLh |

If you purchase a new one and the company shuts down in the meantime, then correct, you can't register it.
The company hasn't shutdown, though. Yet. |

I was stuck in a 50-50% possibilities to keep it or return it. Now it's a 40-60%. Too bad I'll have to wait until April 8th for its arrive.

If the store is gone then registration won't matter anyway. You can still operate the EE without registering it.

If it's a new device you won't have any purchased books on it...

This will only be an issue if enTourage goes out of business, of course, and shuts down the registration server. |
