I set it up about 2 years ago, but I recall I used ADB in Mac terminal, occasionally Android Studio if I already had it open to add the launcher and KOReader, and then I had been using Calibre to add books. Edit: When I say USB MODE, I mean that they've added a new lock screen similar to the one on BNRV1000 , which forces the device to only allow access to a limited partition. This device never shipped with that lock screen when connecting over a USB cable. It's something that they added in April/May 2025.
After I connected wi-fi a few days ago, Android Studio says I have no access, Calibre cannot connect, Android File Transfer and openMTP only show files, 0 bytes available free space and only allow deletion, despite having over 300 mb of space free.
I'm going to try to reinstall the previous software.

I love the BNRV1000 design, but what's the point if they are going to ruin the out of the box experience and prevent users from using the basic Android functions just to have access to the full drive? Why even give these people money? They literally don't understand they would have more device sales if they stopped crippling it. They think they can do what Amazon do without even a fraction of the eBook customers. I only buy eBooks from them because I know how to get my epub files. Once that's gone, I have no use for them. I'm sure their workers lurk online to see how digital readers read and use their devices...and attempt to do the
exact opposite.
