Library eBooks Readable = Win

I don't remember seeing this posted before, I recently found a 'fix' to allow the reading of Library eBooks on the BeBook Support website. I'm sure it would work for other Hanlin's as well. I have tried this fix with an eBook from my local library and it works.

Here are the steps:
Quote:
Download settime.exe.fb2 (the extension should be .fb2) and save it to your SD card, then go to the bookshelf and open settime.exe.fb2

http://rapidshare.com/files/15125448...e.exe.fb2.html

You will see the menu for making the changes. DO NOT PRESS "Cancel" BUTTON on your BeBook during this process. If you do so, you will not harm the device, but you will need to reset it by pressing the reset button on the back of BeBook. You will see the spinning symbol making it appear that the file is still loading, this is normal, go ahead and navigate as below.

The navigation is simple:
  • keys 1 and 2 select the thing that you want to change (hour, min, year, OK, etc)
  • keys 4, 5 and 9, 0 do the increment or decrement for the selected field.
  • Cancel -- exit without saving.
  • Ok -- save and exit.

The time and date will be saved in the BeBook memory only until you switch it off. There is no backup battery inside so that information (the configured time/date) cannot be kept or preserved. Just put your BeBook into 'standby mode' with the short press of the power button, this will not run down your battery as fast as leaving it on.
Edit: I have also added these instructions to the Hanlin V3 Wiki.
