Linda,

I think I will go out and get a light just to have to read while I am working on Android on my original jetbook. I will see if I can duplicate the problems that several people seem to be having with not going past the first screen.

If you can do me a favor would you try the following:

1. Put a book you have never read on a cleanly formatted SD Card
2. Power the Jetbook lite up without any card in it.
3. Wait several minutes to make sure the Jetbook is not going past the startup screen.
4. Insert the SD card and watch to see if the jetbook shows the little status bar that says card inserted.
5. If it shows that message and continues you may have just unlocked your jetbook.

I have a feeling that all the problems we are seeing are all due to a problem with information being stored in memory to speed the jetbook up by caching information.

I think they all relate back to the same software bug and your problem may have been created when your batteries were to low to make a clean shutdown and the jetbook computer chip stored some data in flash memory that the computer now does not know what to do with.

I had a similar problem with a device I developed the software for. Our software had a bug in it that did not behave properly when we lost power. We used the same computer chip and since it can program itself, it can program garbage into memory if you are not careful.

I have the impression that Ectaco is not doing their own software development. I think they have a contract with the people that wrote the original firmware for the Chinese version.

Extaco is a marketing company, not an engineering company.

This is just my opinion from some of the responses people are getting from Ectaco.
