Now this one looks a bit flaky - notice the time zone and the 1:12 ratio between high speed and low speed.
But not really 'wrong' - just a little bit different.

Please mention if any of them have the 'short battery run-time' problem.

The 'manufacturer's code' should only indicate the production run and engineering change level of the board - I.E: it shouldn't be specific to a certain Kindle.

The 'board id' - now that one **might** be specific to a certain Kindle, which is why I didn't print it.

But to tell all of these devices apart, and specially when people start to report "but this one only lasts two days between charges" for a device -
We have to be able to spot the report that corresponds to the device.

Ah, so an idea that should serve that purpose - -
I'll generate a crypto sum of the 'manufacturer's code' -
That can't be reversed to discover the real 'manufacturer's code' and yet will always tie a report to a reporting device (only the owner can tell if the report was from their device or not).

It's two a.m. here and my mind is dead - -
So let them run for now, see which, if any, runs down in only a day or two.
