I tried to reflash back down to plain .15 and the local drive appeared again but I had no memory and the books app couldn't locate any books. My book SD card would not load its file structure. After any attempt to use the device it would freeze up.
Its now on its way back to Ectaco... rip little jetbook lite.
BTW I noticed this am that the current .15g is a zip with only the firmware folder.. l

You could throw away your USB cable. Using the JBL's USB interface for
anything besides messing with the built-in user data memory, is a bad idea.
To be safe, you should use a blank SD chip formatted to FAT16, for updates.
(I have used FAT32 formatted SD chips for updating with no problems, but it
is easy enough to do a quick re-format to FAT16.) You should use FAT32 for
your ebook SD(s) though.
It is also very unlikely that you could not just reset and re-flash properly to
recover from a bad flash with any ARM based device. At the most you would
just remove the batteries and hold the reset, to thoroughly discharge the JBL
and then start over.
