I am aware of that method of connection, however once you have loaded Openinkpot onto the Hanlin hardware everything changes and the device is not exposed as a USB mass storage device. My other BeBook works fine that way but the OI one is the one I was working on.
As I explained the OI firmware uses the USB port as an Ethernet interface so with Windows when you plug it in you get a second "Network Interface" and have to connect to a specific IP address and log into the device using SSH. So rather than treating the Hanlin as a simple storage device you are connecting to a Linux box much as you would over a LAN. It's actually quite instructive as you can see the entire Linux filesystem on the Ebook, not just the storage used for books etc, but the programs and config files as well.
