Hi, nrapallo

I recently bought a REB1200 with a very old firmware (2.0), and I'm having some trouble loading books into it. Basically, all the books I downloaded from here (*_1200.imp, mainly yours, I saw) either restart the reader ou show all the pages as blanks. Also, the books I created from PDF´s with PDFRead show as blanks. All of them show ok in IMPView.

What I find unusual is that the books I created using BookDesigner, GEB Librarian or a photobook creator software are displayed without problems, color and all. Also, the GEB User Manual and a REB 1200 test document that came with ImpServe show ok. (The REB Test Document also seems to NOT show all of its content, specially pictures. Do you have the original file that created it?)

I suppose these errors are caused by the old firmware, but I would like to be certain. Have you ever heard of something like it?

I´m planning to get the firmware update, but it'll take some time. Meanwhile, I would like to try to get some of the books to show in my REB. Do you know any way to do it?

Thanks for your attention,

void Indigo
