So it appears that following the OpenInkpot instructions to restore the factory software works just the way the install instructions say they should.

Gratified to hear from you, in both forums, on this matter. I have been struggling with this in a variety of way late at night and early in the morning.
I'll begin with a brief digression (or query): What "OpenInkpot instructions to restore the factory software" are you referring to. I have just gone into the OI site and can't find anything except how to install Open Inkpot itself -- nothing about "restoring" factory software.
Anyway, I have a number of times on both my BeBooks reformatted the main memory (drive L on my XP) using the Panasonic reformatting application you have recommended in one of the forums in the past. I've done a FULL reformatting, all the bells and whistles. Afterward, I've variously left the BoBook firmware in place that was on the device before reformatting, and also reinstalling the firmware after reformatting. I've in all cases copied a title into the main memory, but the BeBook firmware doesn't recognize it in any instance. If I have a title on the SD card, though, the BeBook will see it and I can read it.
Is there anything in what I've said (and done) above that gives you any further insight? Many, many thanks. Regards, Jim
