Hi All,

Now that I have my EZ Reader, and am having some minor issues with it - which appear to be pretty normal, I'm looking at firmware. There are a lot who recommend OpenInkPot, so I've downloaded it to my PC, but I need to purchase a smaller SD card... mine are all either way too big or too small... so I'm still researching.

Some have suggested just upgrading Jinke/Bebook/Ibook, etc firmware, but I'm curious - is there a difference? Are these upgrades global throughout all of these devices that are cloned?

My biggest problem with the firmware that has come on the EZ Reader is that it reboots randomly when trying to advance the page. This is something I can live with if I must, but it would be cool to fix it up so that it didn't do it. Can any of you provide some personal experience with your EZ Readers?

If you flashed the firmware to OI, what format do you prefer? FB2? If so, how do you convert to that? My books are LIT, and I've been using Calibre to convert them to Mobi or epub... I like Mobi but I can no longer put bookmarks on my pages.
