Thanks to the help of sokbas, I was able to remove the checks in the Aluratek firmware upgrade process! There were a few lines of code that were added (compared to the jetBook firmware) checking for various numbers (presumably in the serial, though perhaps in the NOR flash).

I removed the offending lines, created an archive, re-encrypted it, and flashed! Now I am running the Aluratek firmware on my jetBook and having fun seeing the difference in features. PDF reflow is there! I'll report back more soon.

I could also perhaps post some pictures or my custom firmware file, but it would have to be with a large disclaimer (use at your own risk!). Nevertheless, the firmware upgrade process went without a hitch.
