Hi, Michael!
Although there is no update yet, and the Augen website has almost nothing about "The Book", the fact remains that the unit has an "Upgrade" item in the Settings menu. When I select it, a window pops up with this message:
This operation will shutdown system and cause your system can not work.
Usage
Insert your sdcard which have upgrade file and click "System" "Waveform" button. The system will reboot after upgrade.
We have not blame to your operation.
If have some question please contact us.
Of course, at this point, I hit "Cancel" or the Home button, because there is no upgrade yet. But what was the point of putting the option in there, with (badly written) instructions, no less, if they never plan to issue any sort of firmware update?
The half-hearted rollout of TB, where each store only had one or two units to sell, also seems to indicate that they're waiting for feedback from the early adopters before making changes. The denials and claims that the hardware is locked just cover them in case they decide to abandon the product before correcting the bugs. Even with the bugs, it's a pretty decent little e-reader.
