Very DEVIOUS of its creators to lock users into the OI system in this way! (Am I jesting. I don't know.)
You are apparently doing something different than what you described because you got me so curious that I repeated the procedure that you described and wiped out my OpenInkpot installation on my BeBook. I then installed the BeBook firmware and reformatted the internal storage to FAT16. I copied over a folder full of books to the BeBook and then opened one of the books to read. I saw all the books that I copied to the BeBook and was able to open them for reading. So it appears that following the OpenInkpot instructions to restore the factory software works just the way the install instructions say they should.
