902 new firmware for 902?

franklekens · 07-20-2011, 02:56 AM

My 902 came shipped with FW 2.05.

Is there any later FW? This page seems to suggest there is, but it's in Russian:
http://www.pocketbook-int.com/ua/support/pocketbook-902

Can I install that 2.06 or will it make Russian the default language of the deviced? And are there any benefits or doesn't it make a big difference? (Or is 2.06 even buggy?)

MTIA.

oh yes - and if you search the forum you will see that conventional wisdom

has it that 2.0.6 is the most stable version (though because of an issue with dictionaries being lost, many prefer 2.0.4). But there are beta versions of 2.0.1 and 2.1.1. YOu may find it useful to have a look at this post.

Geeze, thanks.

WTF.

Oh, I see. If I encounter problems I guess I can delete the library db file. Don't think I'll be using that feature anyway.

I mainly have it because of the big screen. I want hardly any of the extra features like apps & stuff. Thanks for the heads up & informative post anyway.

Ehm... one quick question. I set up wifi connection for my home network and entered the password key in the configuration dialogue.

Then when I tried to connect with Bookland, it asked for my password again. Is that standard behaviour? Is it going to ask me for the password every now and then? Because that's a major pain, and means I'll probably do without the wifi altogether.
