Yep I remember, and I was the one in the thread you liked to. I have done several of these devices (one of them more than once) and never corrupted the browser in it. I am not sure, but I think that happened to earlier versions of the firmware. It has been a while since I have done it tho.

As I said I had to do one device twice. Why twice? Well I tried to power it on after it had been sitting turned all the way off for several months, and there wasn't enough battery to really start it booting. It kept flashing on for a second, then off. It did this about 11 times then it wiped itself as a built in self-saving 'feature'.

In short if you haven't used it in a while, do NOT just try to turn it on. Plug it IN! Then you won't risk a brain wipe if the battery is too low to boot. Normally, it SHOULD just pop up the battery too low message, but if the battery is at the iffy threshold (not enough to boot but just enough to turn it on a few times) you end up with a brain wiped device you will have to re-root and put ALL your books on again.
