I'm sure it is. However, to do so one would have to open the case, find the serial port connection pads, wire up a serial-to-usb connector cable, hack the OS... It ain't easy, let me tell you.

And there's really no point in me doing so because I've already *GOT* build 796 on both my Cybooks. Now when the latest build comes out, I'll download it like everyone else.

Of course, given that we're now in August and so *many* small companies in France take much of the first part of August off, it'll be interesting to see if we see any new firmware release during the next few weeks.
