Funny, their website says the firmware wont work on the 2009 (which is true) or the 2011. Never knew of a 2011 model. Their refurbed BeBook One is the 09 model, so I suppose that is what they mean hmmm You can also look at the LBook firmware (may need to use google translate on the page). Very good firmware too IMHO. One of the best things about these line of ereaders is you can try a firmware, don't like it? Reflash with another. |

Thank you for the fast reply! I have the BeBook One from 2010 but Mum couldn't resist the price of the EZReader. I knew I would be able to change the firmware if needed so told her to go for it.

Just to let you know there are many similar devices sold for $57 on geeks.com:
http://www.geeks.com/products_sc.asp?Cat=1255 I didn't buy them because I felt the screen is not that much different from the Sony PRS-505 reader I have now! I ended up buying a jetbook, which I'm very happy with, despite the lower resolution. For text, it's just as good as an e-ink. For PDF, just as bad. My next e-ink device will have to be a 9" device! |

Don't forget OpenInkPot firmware was originally designed for the V3 and the V3+...

I have 6" Astak EZ Reader , gently used, fully functional, with all accessories- leather cover, charger, SD card in original package. I may consider selling it if you are still interested.
