After spending quite a few hours, I successfully update my Jetbook from v0.33c to v0.34b and finally to 0.35m. Here are a couple of things I learned:
1. When a Jetbook is connected to a Mac, two devices called "NO NAME" show up but only one is the SD card having more memory. Don´t change the names of these devices to distinguish them. Put update files ONLY on the SD card (it shows more memory) after removing all files from both devices.
2. The download for v0.34b could be opened on a Mac. The download for v0.35m can only be opened on a PC (not mentioned on the website). When I connected the Jetbook to my PC, the wrong device opened (not the SD card). I had to transfer the three update files to my Mac, put them on the SD card and disconnect. It took five tries pressing power+right arrow to get the update screen.

Tonight I will try to put some library ebooks on the device. If it works, all the hassle will be worth it.
