KennyMinot, Yes, definitely helps. I'm confused about one thing, however. I thought z4root was the Golden Ermine file I downloaded before renaming it "update.zip." (I can't say for sure, because I deleted that file along with the "gapps" file from my sparse 8G SD card). So would--or wouldn't--this mean the device
has been rooted?
--About the SD card "fix" (as you call it). One of the reasons I haven't gone near my PE in three days, except for recharging it, is--and this is an extreme newbie articulating it: there are too many places where a file
might be stored on the Edge. When the SD card is installed in a PE, where do your books, whether .PDF, EPUB, or other format,
really go? The liberry?
The "Devices" "folder?" Nowhere? I have absolutely NO CLUE about where to look for files that, on a windows floppy drive, or CD drive, or USB drive, would be easy to locate. Now before you write off this objection as mere stupidity, a certain amount of which I freely admit to, please consider...
It takes a great deal of ratiocination for a born-and-bred Windows user to comprehend that files can't be copied to the PE. Once a newbie gets this fact through his or her brain, the concept of Library unfortunately becomes even more mysterious, since Post-Entourage buyers can't buy and download books or whatever. (I mean, these facts become obvious even as a person types them, but it takes considerable thought--for a non-Android-familiar user--to articulate them.) So then he/she has the Library, the SD card, "Downloads," "Documents to Go," "Books," "Installed Storage," "All...(Whatever Follows All)...
That's why I'm grateful for what is apparently a definitive PE User's Guide EPUB, or an accretion of users' guides, or whatever exactly that file is that was posted yesterday. It took two pages of posts for me as a non-smart phone user, to get an answer to the question about Permissions (re: my thread "Really--Really--Getting to Know the PE).
N.B. "Permissions is a misnomer, since a user either "permits" all or none. "Warning" or "Cautions" would have been an infinitely more compassionate term! So if this is the rate of learning--two pages of posts to comprehend a single Android term--
then possibly I will use my PE to take notes to the Book of Revelations while the Apocalypse is happening.
None of this matters, however. Really. Some devices give you a heck of a kick just looking at, like a baseball signed by your hero or a hard-to-find DVD of an old film. I like just looking at the PE. It's heavier than a watermelon compared to netbooks, and so far, I am 95% clueless about how to use it (and on final thought, this post really belongs in my other thread); but I wouldn't part with it for the world.
