Hacking time!
Step 1.
install third party application poterm - terminal emulator for PocketBook
Step 2.
Make yourself familiar with the very, very basic Unix commands ls, pwd, cd, cp, df
Code:
ls - list the contents of the directory. If there is no parameter list contents of current directory, otherwise list directory that follows the ls command. Example ls /mnt/ext1
pwd - print (give on screen) name of current directory
cd - change the current directory
cp - copy file. In our case cp * /mnt/ext1 copies all files from current directory to /mnt/ext1 directory (here is mounted what you see as contents of the main memory when you connect PocketBook to the PC)
df - print where various partitions are mounted. I have used this to find out where the "main memory" partition is mounted
Step 3.
Start terminal emulator and enter following commands
Code:
/bin/ash: can't access tty; job control turned off


BusyBox v1.12.2 (2009-01-04 17:45:10 EET) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

The above listing is log of my entire hacking session.
I love Guys From Kiev. They strive to make our lives easier. Unlike the vast majority of other device manufacuters.

Step 4.
Connect PocketBook to the computer and copy desired files from the main memory.
The poterm log file is in directory /games - where the poterm.app is located.

Step 5.
Upload zip file with extracted files to Mobileread ;-)
