New jetBook-Lite version 0.15d

Kris777 · 03-31-2010, 01:53 AM

I just downloaded new jetBook-Lite version 0.15d from:
http://www.jetbook.net/upgrade.php

This version dated on Jan 11,2010 but I think they just forget to change the date.

The previous version 0.15c had no dictionaries and search for books in .PDB format but this version has both features. I didn't find other difference yet.
If you read books in PDB format and need search or dictionary support this update can be helpful!

Could you add this info to the Firmware Update Instructions and the latest Firmware Versions "sticky"?

This new 15d package only has the one .bin file and none of the other files
or folders that the older updates had. The .bin file is about the same size as
the 15 package's .bin file, so the data from the other files and folders couldn't
have just been added to the .bin file.

Anyone know what is going on? Do you need to have installed something
after the 15 package, for this new one to install?

Luck;
Ken

The other files aren't actually necessary to do a firmware upgrade. All you need is the .bin file -- in the firmware directory.

Have anyone found any other changes/improvements then the ones Kralik mention in the beginning of this thread?

Hello,

I meant for pdf files (perhaps for pictures too).

Cheers,

Well no clue, all I know is if you jetbook lite is currently hanging on the logo screen the new firmware still cant be loaded because it hangs before you get to the point of firmware loading. Anyone know of ANY freaking way to load the new firmware in a case like this? With the current defect windows doesn't see it as a valid usb device so its not like I can do anything to it from my pc. I can't load firmware from my SD card. Ectaco tech support is useless. They told me for 2 weeks the new firmware would fix this problem without a return. After lying 3 times about when the new firmware would come out, now they finally change their story again and tell me to return it AGAIN. At this rate if I keep sending it back I will have more invested in shipping to return it than I spent buying the reader... I am VERY pissed off right now.

I didn't find any other changes. Just dictionaries and search for .PDB files.

What's the deal with this 15d firmware update? There are 20 files in there when I unzip this thing, including 5 unzipped files. I think the regular 15 firmware update had like 3 folders--what am I supposed to do with these 20 files? Are they all needed? Why are there 5 unizipped files within the file after I unzip it?
