oi on sd

[sid201]

I've given up on cracking the drm on my book(s) I'm just not up to it, how do I get open inkpot to run off the sd card again, I'm assuming I can switch between the two firmwares.
I'm not to good at this kind of thing so short easy to understand words please

I've also written to the sellers ans publishers of the drm'd book I bought ,the reply from the seller was at least understanding(blame the lawyers apparently)
I haven't had a reply from the publisher.



Cheers all

It is very easy to run OpenInkPot from the SD card. Start off with non-OIP firmware on your device (Jinke, or BeBook, or whatever). Then follow the instructions from OpenInkpot 0.2 Installation Guide:

OI-on-SD (live) ¶

This method boots OpenInkpot from the original firmware. All changes are saved in the file on SD card. This is recommended for the users who want to try OpenInkpot or still have to use original firmware for something. This method has one obvious limitation: you can't remove SD card while OpenInkpot is running from it. Also, OpenInkpot is little unstable in Live version at the moment, unlike flashed version.

1. Download the firmware file (single file for both 64mb and 512mb versions).
2. Unpack it to the root directory of SD card (keep the openinkpot directory).
3. Insert SD card and run openinkpot/boot-OI-v3.exe file.

All changes made during the session (history of files, current position in directory) will be saved in root.fs file in openinkpot directory. You can use the same image on different V3 devices.

I have found this to be reasonably stable, but note that you can only access ebooks on the SD card from OpenInkPot (there is an "internal memory" partition, but it isn't the same as the normal internal memory).

To switch from standard to OIP you try to read boot-OI-V3.exe.fb2 which reboots into OIP. To exit back to the standard firmware, select Menu->Scripts->Reboot V3.
