Lowlandr · 02-29-2012, 10:19 AM

Hope someone can help answer a few questions about my 903, which has been gathering dust for the past year or so.

I haven't been able to use it the way I hoped when I purchased it, which is highlighting text in PDFs loaded from a microSD card and saving them back to the microSD card WITH the highlights. That way I can process all the highlights as summaries or notes in a separate application on my PC. Being able to add notes and saving them would be a great addition (not talking about the crappy solution in the old firmware...).

Is such a thing (finally) possible with the new firmware or a new PDF reader on the 903?
Which firmware would be best to install?

Also, I haven't updated my 903 since I got it, still running on 2.0.4.
If I install the new firmware, is there anything I have to watch out for? Like disappearing books/dictionaries/applications/settings/etc?

Last question: guess there's still no official SDK, huh? **sigh**

Thanks in advance, especially to all of you are still making such a huge effort to get these devices to where they're really supposed to be (and should have been from the start...)!
