Jinke says: "Unzip the update pack, and copy unzipped files into the boot index of SD card. (a. The storage of the SD card should be less than 512MB; b. The SDcard should be FAT 16.)"

--- So it seems that I need to purchase a 256 SD card, since the V3 came with a 512MB. Correct?
I just used the 512MB card that came with the V3 and it was fine. I guess it is just a typo and they may probably meant less than or equal to 512MB.

I just used the 512MB card as mentioned and didn't try any formatting.

Yes, just put it in the root directory. No need to delete other files. You will lose your bookmarks however, so you might want to make a note of them.

Correct.
