Use the "Download OS / Applications" item in the Web menu bar of the desktop manager to get your custom copy of the EBM OS.

Be sure to back it up in case the server goes down again...

I am now trying to find a good source of EBM compatible books. It looks like BlackMask died years ago, Gutenberg stopped providing MobiPocket's native PRC files, Munsey's PRC files won't open on my EBM (it displays a "please download a software update from mobipocket.com" error), and apparently the EBM doesn't understand utf-8 encoding because it displays Gutenberg's text files as gibberish. As I recall, most of the cool EBM applications were hosted on GeoCities and they seem to have vanished from the net as well.

At least the device is running great now. Where there's life, there's hope!
I have been able to download the files, but when I try to sync, it says it cannot connect to franklin.com. It won't load the OS. How did you get it to load the OS?
