Thank you very much. I have already installed your theme and I like it more than the original one.

Thank you for your instructions.

There is better and safer way.
I have installed an ftp server on my PocketBook 623. The program is called vsftpd.

Translate.Google.com is your friend.

Just copy the files from the archive to the application directory and run launcher app. The program will display IP address and port on the PocketBook screen, then you use some program to connect to the reader as an anonymous ftp server.

This is, I think, much safer than creating scripts.
To make sure configure the ftp server to prevent writing to filesystem. You can modify the vsftpd.config file


To access the files inside the reader you can also use poterm program - the PRO version.
You have to touch the screen to get graphical dialog box and then you have to touch the tiny text box to enter the command. Took me about 20 tries to do it for the first time.


WARNING:
Be sure you know what you are doing before messing with the files in the internal memory.
The warning is not for you Ronny, you obviously know what you are doing ;-)
