Will this work for us? Or could we, as mentioned above, use an SD card to apply the update?

Thanks for all your hard work and for keeping us updated!
For the linux guys, I'll have to get you the v1.4 of the desktop application to install over your current install. This will grab the USB firmware update for you (I think, I will verify as soon as we ship this thing, we will find a way for you guys, don't worry).

RE: SD card, it will be a by-request service, but those of you who are more technically savvy will be able to flash the device using an SD card. However, we can't target this update to avoid the users partition, you will lose all your stuff if you use the SD card method.

The USB method however will preserve your files / bookmarks / books.

@mememe - No, we have separated from the mother ship and occupy our own office space just east of Richmond / Spadina.
