Yes there have been a few comments on the Bookeen Blog about problems with some users not being able to use their SD card, and asking for a by-pass for the installation...

I'm pretty sure that to enable upgrade without a card you'll have to upgrade your firmware... and that needs a card!

I also have the same problem, but cannot imagine why would it be so difficult to update it using the internal memory. Waiting for them to sort this out...

If they need to repartition the internal disk then it can be hard to do it from the internal disk. Also if the internal disk is corrupt then people will have problem. So from a support standpoint it is easier to say to people to take a new SD card and update and the update can check the internal disk.

Why would they need to repartition the internal disk? Is there a separate firmware partition on it, which is to small? Now that would be really annoying.

So far as I've heard, the current firmware does NOT check anything but the currently-in-position bootimage file and the SD card firmware update. But then, that's one of the things a future update is supposed to change, yes? Derek |
