I will just have to say... WOW!!!

I didnt see the thread with the extracted full firmware before!!

Could that information be usuable for someone that would like to try to adopt the OpenInkpot firmware to Jetbook/ Jetbook Lite ?

(Im asking because i just read "Nate the greatīs" blogg entry here:
http://natesebooknews.com/2010/02/08...review-part-2/ )

How great wouldnt it be to have a open source supported firmware! If that would be successfull i think ectaco sooner or later would make their firmware opensource (since its already is quite stuffed with GPL stuff anyway?..)

The daily builds of the firmware support Coolreader and FBReader i hear.

I really wish I had the skills to do some work on this. If someone released the basics about how to understand how to make a alternative firmware flashing on the JetBook and how to boot the hardware, I guess a lot of linux people would join in right after that...

Would be a very interesting evolution for this unit and its future I think.
