Hardware
Opening your PB
: see here
SD card: not all card can be read: I do not know which ones work, but if you tell me we can list them here.

Firmware
1. Current firmware version: It is 2.0.4, available here
Known issues: updating the firmware will get rid of the "games" directory, so before updating make sure you have a backup.

2. SDK: The SDK is expected to be released in March, however some people have had a go already: you can find the story here.

3. updating firmware: you can either do this by copying the file on the sd card, or you can copy the file directly in the internal memory (if you do not have a card). Note that any file on the device has priority on files on the SD card. Remember to remove the file from the device after the update.

Known bugs
For all models:
  • Problem: Themes do not work.
602:
  • Problem: if using bookmarks, the book does not reopen. Solution: do not use bookmarks
903:
  • Problem: the web-browser re-writes the config file each time, so does not save any changes to the appearances (font size, bookmarks), while it does retain history. Solution: hopefully fixed in the next the book does not reopen.

Charging
1. charging light colour: it can stay amber even if the device is fully charged.
2. wall charger: should deliver 5V/1000mA DC

Utilities
1. Text To Speech (TTS): available here


User developed applications:
FBReader 180 (with wrist page turn, courtesy of GrayNM): see here. Careful here, as the context menu is wrongly mapped (but the functions are there).
