Wow

Good for you guys and gals! Enjoy the new firmware!

It is fast. And has new features. If it is stable I'm happy

Idoine · 12-24-2009, 02:01 PM

Did try Mobi version and can't reboot on my 256M SD card (I keep pushing the nav button but no flashing screen !)

EowynCarter · 12-24-2009, 02:06 PM

(Sorry for the french...)

Il faut mettre le fichier a la racine de la carte SD, de-zipé. (Et il s'apelle kernel-update). là ton Cybook devrais le voir.

I did Flash 1.5 on my 64MB Cybook... It didn't start up fast at all, more than 1 minute waiting with the 3 dots screen... In folder view[*], going up from a subfolder to the main folder (where I have one subfolder for each author) was also a long wait... Let's see if it builds some caches or something and it's faster next time

[*] Yay! Folders!

Thanks, but it seems it was a problem with the card !

I just tried with another one, and the upgrade is on the road...

It is faster. ~15 seconds in the 1st screen, ~15 seconds in the three dots screen. Maybe because I left it in folder view, and inside a folder, so there were fewer elements to show. I'm happy now.

Idoine · 12-24-2009, 02:21 PM

Yeah ! It's OK now ! 1.5 build 1093 now !
I am in Folder view, and the navigation is great ! Faster too !

So how many of you are upgrading to ePub or staying downgraded with Mobipocket?

Because I'd put my (old, 64MB) Gen3 up on a shelf - away from the sun, cold, heat, moisture, with nothing put on it and in its softcover - and when I went to fire it up, the screen showed *THIS*!

Like, an original Gen3 can *break* just because it's sitting on the friggin' SHELF!?!

P.S. Yes, I had been using it the day I put it on the shelf - and had turned it on to ensure that the battery level was fine and everything was in order before I turned it off and shelved it.

As long as there are no ePub dictionary's I'll stay downgraded. Mobipocket is more than good enough for normal books.

Not when you may not be able to get your normal books in Mobipocket. I'm seeing more and more of this happening.

Seems to me you need to recharge it !

What size microSD card do you need for updating the Opus? I didn't bother to buy one due to the freezing issue with SD cards. I do however have a 32MB one in my old cellphone which I could try, if it'll work.

Edit: Nevermind. The download just finished and I see that the file is 35MB in size. Guess I'll have to source a card somewhere... not going to be easy in the middle of nowhere!
