For anyone who's installed the latest Aluratek Libre Pro's firmware update, have you figured out what it changes?

I just did the update. Trouble-free.
After the update process, on the next power ON, there was a splashcreen for FBReader, so I am assuming a new version has been installed. I cannot get any other version info in the System Settings menu, other than for the Firmware version showing 17d. |

I have both the JB and the ALP. I just purchased the ALP in June 2010.
I updated the FW on my JB to .35a- custom. The upgrade added the support for Adobe Mobile Reader 9.0.26696. Now when reading ePubs and PDF there is an "ABOUT" screen displaying the version. I also updated the ALP to 17d. I did not see any obvious changes. I also didn't see what my original FW was at - it may have been just .017. Anyways there is no "About" screen for epub/pdf but I went and connected the unit to my pc and using explorer I went and looked inside the adobe folder located on it's internal memory. "Device.xml indicates the reader level as being bthe same as the JB FW .35?. and that is 9.0.26696. Too bad I didn't check before. I also didn't notice any performance changes and the small issues I have I still continue to have. So other that updating the adobe reader I don't know what else it has changed. May be someone who has not done the FW update and is at the original firmware level can see what their's is at. Just connect your unit to your PC via USB and the click og the .adobe folder and then you can open the device.xml by right clicking on it and selecting "Open With" and then pick Note-pad. You will find the reader level in the displayed file. John |

I wish someone like uRWhatUr would read this thread and tell us whether she has updated her Libre to 0.17d. I know he/she has been here awhile and started out with 0.15k. I still have mine at 0.15k, not knowing yet if anything has been gained at the level of 0.17d.

Well, I installed the update. When I went to open up a book I was reading, this popped up on the screen:
Quote:
On the main "Aluratek" intro page, a copyright line came up for Reader Mobile technology by Adobe. There's no change in the language choice (English/French) nor in the font choices. Resizing choices seem to be the same. No additional functions that I could see. Folder access times seem to be slightly shorter. I haven't seen any other differences yet. |
