How to tell if (rebranded) device is COOL-ER?
I recently purchased a rebranded ereader EB600 device "TurboX" in Greece. I thought it was the Bookeen Cybook. But, when trying to find a cover to order I notied that the select knob on the lower right corner is circular like the COOL-ER. And the price was way-lower than the Cybook also. All the specs match the COOL-ER.
The firmware is listed as: v 1.12.9-1 which seems to match a COOL-ER build # from Dec 2009.
I'm very happy with the device, I even like the feel of the buttons. I have 2 concerns though:
1. The battery doesn't seem to last as long as it should. But perhaps this is because I am still in the "loading books" stage? It lasts 3-4 days of heavy reading (>4 hours per day) so I am not really complaining...
2. I can't find a "Delete Book" menu item. Do COOL-ER users know if this feature is available?
Also, I was wondering if it the COOL-ER in fact because 1) I'd like to buy the Tuff-Luv flip-top cover. My unit lists dimensions as 188x 118x 9mm as opposed to the COOL-ER at 183x 118 x 10.89 and 2) I'd like to reflash the firmware to the latest COOL-ER version since it will restart at the latest page read . For now, I just keep the unit on, which works OK.
I'm pleased with the page-turn rate, but any speed improvement is welcome.
So, is there any way to confirm the model? I have a 2-year in-store warranty from the local reseller and they will do the firmware upgrade for me (and assume any risk to the device!).
Any help would be much appreciated!
