There is nothing odd about firmware image files being different sizes, since any minor change in the source code will change the size up or down. When I compile firmware for other devices, the firmware image ALWAYS comes out a different size after any software modification. In this case the images are NOT exactly 55 MegaBytes, but 57,671,680 bytes in size. On the other hand the current OpenInkPot image for the Hanlin/BEBOOK is 54,525,952 bytes in size, because it IS actually different firmware. My conclusion from that is that both the Hanlin image from Jinke and the BEBOOK image are both the same firmware with a different logo screen. The logo screen part of the image will aways be the same size if it is not compressed, because the logo is just a bitmap of the 800x600 pixel screen.
