Hi,

having tried to use poterm on my PB622 and PB623 devices I found that the lack of buttons on these devices was keeping me from using all its capabilities and decided to write my own version more geared towards use on devices with a touch screen (and using it as a chance to learn how to use the libinkview API;-). You can download the program, including the sources (available under the GPL3), as a "tar.gz" archive from here:

http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~jtt/PB/pbterm.tar.gz

Just the compiled program (and the optional configuration file) can be found as a "zip" file at:

http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~jtt/PB/pbterm.zip

For more information and instructions on how to install and use the program etc. see

http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~jt...DME-pbterm.txt

Note that the program didn't work on the PB622 with firmware version 4.0.373. But it worked after upgrading to the newest 4.2 version. On the PB623 I have only tested it with firmware version 4.3.

Since I don't have any other PocketBook devices beside the PB622 and PB623 I can't tell if the program will also work on other models. If you try the program I would be delighted to get reports about bugs and proposals for new features. My email address is jt@toerring.de and my homepage is http://toerring.de if you want to contact me directly.

Best regards, Jens
