Jointech JE100 - user review - Page 3

Sweetpea · 08-14-2009, 01:38 PM

Yes, the JoinTech OS can only read text files. I only use the Windows OS right now, as all my books are in mobipocket

I don't have the dongle (as it was included only after I ordered

), so I can't help you with that.

I received the firmware update from Jointech, but the damn JE100 ignores it. Any special things I need to do, apart from copying it onto an empty card, and turning on the machine?

I don't have the reader yet, but today I was on their site and saw this page:

http://www.jointech.com.hk/downloads.html

Then I clicked on the eBook JE100 User Manual View Online option there is a how to upgrade firmware/WincCE short video.

Have you seen this? If not it may help.

Did you format the card as directed? imaredr posted the link to the user manual.

If you did it correctly, entering the card and giving a hard reset (in windows: shut down, or keep the power button pressed for at least 3 seconds), should start the update. Once that's done, remove the card. Otherwise, it'll restart every time you shut down...

My mistake: I tried erasing everything on the card without actually reformatting it. It turns out it had a weird partition structure, once I dropped the old partitions and created a single one formatted as FAT32, everything went fine. Thanks for the help!

Sweetpea · 08-19-2009, 02:44 AM

Hmm, I've never seen those messages, and I did install the Foxit reader. I only use the device as reader, so I've not installed a lot (foxit, Comic Reader and Mobipocket Reader). I did read somewhere that there are a few DLL's (?) you could get from a Windows Mobile version and use those to get your applications running. You'll have to search for that though.

pbananth · 08-19-2009, 03:07 AM

thats the problem,
which dlls?
thanks..

No idea, I didn't look into it as I haven't run into that problem. No idea where I saw that mentioned though...

pbananth · 08-19-2009, 01:05 PM

Foxit reader which version?
can you provide me?
thanks.

Dear Pbananth
Just have one question for you.
Did you manage to connect the wireless dongle? Did it work?
Could you please let me know if you can help me to understand how to connect and set this wireless dongle.... I could not find any drever installed on JE100.

Thank you

Hi, I bought the Je100, and loved the looks, but the os has been nothing but trouble. I was planning on returning it, but saw mention of the firmware update. I've emailed the company several times, but haven't heard back from them.

Would anyone who has the firmware update please, please, please be willing to email it to me since the company isn't responding?

I hate to ask this, but I can't find it online, and I'd like to try and make the Je100 work (it freezes on start up currently).

Thank you.

messire · 09-04-2009, 09:50 AM

Hi Sweetpea,
Where did you buy the screen cover and the device cover from ?

Thanks.

The device cover is from JoinTech. The screencover is just an anti-glare screen protector (got an A4 format sized piece and cut the desired size from it)

imaredr · 09-10-2009, 04:20 PM

Sweetpea,

I received my JE100 today. I really like it. For me it is the perfect size. I am still trying to install a couple of ebook software now. The hardest thing is quick copy of books. I finally just took out the memory card and copied that way. I will be sending you a personal message to talk about a couple of things if that is okay.
