any EBK (culturecomm) conversion tools?

I have a Kolin i-library ebook (actually rebranded argosy EBK 683) that I had purchased an evaluation unit of. There was a possible sale of a couple of hundred of these, but the support from Argosy USA was so poor that the idea was totally dropped. Anyway - just discovered that XPSP2 does not like the conversion software that was provided with the ebook, and any links from argosy USA to support software from their server overseas is broken. I regret that I cannot read any flavor of Chinese, which is what the Kolin site is in.

The communication software works fine if not VERY slow, but I would like to be able to upload my own content again. I used it quite a bit last baseball season at the Brewer;s games (BORING! but had to go with teh wife) since it was easy to read in the sun and the REB1200's are not. Since Argosy is either out of business with all of the dead links, and no response to phone calls and emails (told you that we dropped any ideas of using their units from lack of support from the US branch!) If I could get this working I'll give this to one of my students - too limited with the 16 meg for me and since memory cards were unavailable from Argosy in any sort of reasonable time frame (tried to purchase a SINGLE ONE for four months!!!! for a demo - why the deal was killed). Origional purpose was having a mobile reader with replaceable batteries, but no support killed the deal. Also own things like the origional rocketbook, multiple REB1200's, multiple REB1100's, ebookman of all types (very disappointing - shipping with Alpha software. Worked great at the end but by then it was too late), Heibook and various tablets.
