The CD/DVD doesn't matter at all and, as far as I know, you're allowed to make as many copies as you wish. However, your licence (key) is the important thing, so as long as you use your own licence, you can just go ahead and use your friends' disc to install. |

Some sofware didn't need a licence key or anything like this. but that was not the point. What i want to say is that if you don't own the right to use the software, you are doing illegal stuffs

Bookeen's firmware (I don't know about Pocketbook's) is Linux. The application they use that displays the ebook is proprietary. Bookeen (due to the requirements of the GPL) makes the source for their firmware minus this application available. If someone really wanted they could take the Linux source and make their own compatible firmware. Another application could be used in place of Bookeen's or Adobe's (The new ePub firmware will be using this) reader application. The Jetbook supports FBReader for instance.

I think part of the code, ie menus and all, is bookeen proprietary. It would be basicly doing firmware from scratch. Last edited by EowynCarter; 06-23-2010 at 10:31 AM. |

Those parts a proprietary but that's why you would use something like FBReader which already has support for menus, loading, and reading a number of different eBook formats. Like I said it is even being used by eInk devices. |

That s great! So you have put the pocketbook firmware on Explay and on Orsio too, with success? I think the Orsio txt book and the Cybook Gen3 - first generation (200MHz,64MB, 16MB ram) are Netronix EB100. Maybe you know how to put the firm on the Cybook? |

For the hundredth times, it is not easily possible to install a firmware other than bookeen's on the cybooks.
