Beta Test complete on new Firmware Upgrade

Dear All:

The long awaited Revised March Firmware Upgrade has been in Beta test for the last 8 working days. We utilized the services of Dale DePriest to assure that there are no glitches PARTICULARLY regarding the battery charge life drain of the original March upgrade.

ALL results are "in" and we are proceeding with getting the new Revised FI posted on: www.TheEZreader.com. It should be up soon.

This will restore the TTS that the original version removed, will provide CoolReader 3, will have the new FB2 version, and is supposed to solve the problems with .LIT. It takes a while to assure that the battery charge life drain problem is indeed fixed and it is!!

The Revised March Firmware Upgrade does the following:



Corrects battery charge life drain found in original March FI.
Adds CoolReader 3 format.
Adds the latest version of FB2 format.
Changes the date to read MM/DD/YYYY instead of DD/MM/YYYY.
Supports some additional font styles.
Improves .LIT format reading experience.
Restores Text-TO-Speech lost in original March FI


I KNOW you have been waiting. Some of you have tried Jinke and other Firmware Upgrades. I would recommend using the Astak version as IF problems do develop down the road with your device... at least we know there is no conflict with the FI. KEEP your Astak Device ALL Astak!!

Thank you for waiting!!
