I see no difference in Mobipocket fonts between these two (i.e. 2008-12-12 & 2009-01-20). Still has the same three original fonts (Times, Ariel & Ibook). I was unable it use my own supplied font (Gentium - GenBasR.ttf). It was not listed.

I can not say for sure, because I have not loaded both. I have downloaded both the BEBOOK and Jinke(Hanlin) updates, and they are both EXACTLY 57,671,680 bytes in size. Since it is pretty unusual to see two 9 digit number of bytes to come out the same unless they actually are the same file, my guess is that there is no difference between the Jinke(Hanlin) and BEBOOK download files? I suspect that at least the logo screens may be different, but if they are uncompressed bit maps they would both be 800x600 pixels, so they would not affect the VSUPDATE.BIN file size.

For some reason I have a zip nested within a Zip and this hanlin update does not like that....crashes every time. I figured why not take the plunge to OI now? So I'll try that out for a while.

I have used the new hanlin update on my BeBook, different logo and the update has changed my PID, but no issues with the update at all.
Hogleg, once I remove DRM from my mobi books, I am also considering the move to open inkpot. Can u keep us informed as to your experiences with it Karen |

@Dave: you're talking about images that will be flashed into the devices. It would be odd if they were different in size as they have to be flashable into the same device. If you look at the numbers and do some divisions, you'll realize that the files are exactly 55MB long - which would be the bigger oddity here, if we were talking about normal files and not images that will be flashed into a device.
To answer Ralph's question: yes there are differences, but the Hanlin firmware and the bebook firmware will both work on Hanlin and bebook devices, as they are essentially the same. Regards Fake |

Looking inside the firmware file, there's tons of unused space - it's not the result of compiling code but the result of filling up unused space with blank values instead of garbage data. Apart from that, I'm pretty sure 57671680 equals 55MB. Every calculater I've tried so far tells me that 57671680 / 1024 / 1024 equals 55.

i think bebook is the same as jinkes but with an updated logo and possibly a few minor changes. For example using bebook firmware you can still use jinke logomaker to change the logo.
From talking to bebook support over the months and partly an educational guess I think bebook and other hanlin distributors get jinkes firmware before anyone else, hence bebooks releases are available before jinkes and include all the same updates when the jinkes are finally available. I guess jinke do this to let their redistributors act as guinuea pigs in case they get a bad firmware, like the initial bebeook dec and jan firmware that was pulled after numerous user problems. |
