To get the topic away from all the legal banter for a moment...
I have been using the converted STAReBOOK for about a day now, and I have found a few quite annoying problems..
The checkerbaord after disconnecting the device from my PC is OK, that does not really bother me much, what really annoys me though is, that the STAReBOOK/Cybook often loses my bookmarks, stops working in the middle of a book I'm reading and even corrupts the data on my SD car (only happened once, can't really say whether the Sd card might have contained some error before).
Sometimes I can read for hours without problem, then the device will stop functioning after just a few minutes.
These problems are hard to track, they feel like software/firmware problems, why they should happen on my STAReBOOk and not on the original Cybook is beyond me.
If bookmarks would not work at all or the other saved info (font-family, size, ...) would get lost after every reboot I would blame the hardware difference, since these errors appear more randomly I guess it must be something in the firmware update process (which is slightly irregular) that causes them.
I hope that there is a way to get rid of these bugs and I also hope there will be a more regular and legal way to do this conversion at some later point...or that OpenInkpot firmware (the poiunt of this experiment) will run smoothly on all devices.
