changing reader's default files

zoran · 07-16-2010, 05:37 AM

I'm curious if someone changed files found on
the reader. Since it is linux system with it's
directory tree, /etc and friends are open to
play with. Variables for sleeping and powering
down. Probably a lot more to change things
people dislike right now (aka no book cover).
Best regards.

Sorry, the linux file system is not available. Only the Fat partition is visible as the USB drive. And it's not very easy to attach a serial cable, either, even after you open it up.

None of the commercial ereaders allow access to the linux file system. It would be too easy for users, knowledgeable or ignorant, to make fatal changes.
