First of all the BeBook is not dead; if it were you wouldn't get the (empty) Recent Files screen nor be able to connect via USB.
Fortunately the Bebook is device which had a lot of tinkerers when it was current and there are quite a few different firmwares which were brewed for it, including the manufacturer's own, Lbook (Ukraine), Astek, Paparye and others.
I'd be inclined to dig into these and retrieve an image that you could load onto the BeBook, your biggest problem would be finding a SD card that is compatible with the firmware update - ideally an old 512Mb is what you want, bigger cards can present problems.
I have two of these devices, one is running Hanlin's firmware, the other Openinkpot. Stay away from Openinkpot as you can't easily connect to it via USB.
If you get really stuck finding a firmware image online PM me and I'll dig into my archives and see if I have anything suitable.
There is a host of info in this forum about firmware but you need to trawl through some quite old posts to find it.
