Welcome back LE;

The 0.16e firmware is what we have been waiting for, it really has an impact on the
value of the JBL. Just install it as you would any of the earlier updates and you are
good to go. But, you should use the USB cable to backup your JBL's internal user's
memory to a folder on one of your PC's hard drives. If you are using it a lot, you
might clean out a good chunk of space (at least 40MB or so) to ensure there will be
room for the added use of the internal memory that this upgrade imparts. It's a good
idea to have the backup anyway.

In fact after the 0.16e upgrade you should copy the ".adobe-digital-editions" folder
that the update writes to the internal user memory to your hard drive so that you can
have what you would need to make an SD card that ADE will see as your JBL. Also so
you have what you need to "restart" an ADE device association.

Personally, I am giving ADE a pass, as I am not looking to borrow library books, and I
remove all DRM from my purchases, anyway. I do like the way the Adobe Reader Mobile
handles .ePub and PDF, though. So you need not even install the ADE on your PC, if you
disinfect your purchases, and don't borrow library books.

[It might just be me, but if I wanted to make use of ADE I would be sure and remove the
.adobe-digital-editions folder, from the JBL's internal memory, and only let ADE mess with
an SD card it thinks is my JBL and never my actual JBL.]

Luck;
Ken
