hello

Hello , to the community , i'm new here; I just bought a pocket edge.
Although there appears to be stormy weather around entourage ( the home page seems to be down, which is not too reassuring ) , I hope support and the community will stay for some time !
Personnally , I find the device to be great ! The reader may be a bit slow, but it's not an impassable obstacle...

My software version is dingo 1.13 and I heard there's a newer (?) faster beta version.
So :
1) is it stable enough?
2)do you recommend it?
3)how do I install it?
4) Will this update erase the books I already have installed?

I also noticed that my wifi range is limited ( about 15 meters inside the house , so my sofa area is not covered lol

Thanks for reading!

1) The Android 2.2.1 beta appears to be very stable for most PE users.

2) I recommend it because it speeds up the PE response considerably, especially on the e_Ink side.

3) Here is a link for installing it: http://www.entourageedge.com/forums/...ingo-to-Ermine

4) The update should not affect any saved files.



Thanks for posting.

Welcome! I also have a PE and I've had good luck with the Ermine update.
Enjoy your new device.

Hi Pamelou! Welcome!

Interesting what you say about the wifi range. Mine seems pretty good, although once when I tried it in the morning while in bed () it didn't work. Usually it does, there, and outside in the sun.

I have not upgraded from Dingo yet. Purely your choice. I am wondering if the connection issues will affect your being able to download Ermine???

In my opinion, 15 m is not "a limited range" for a portable device, inside a house. You should consider many factors like how your house is built and organized.

I used the eDGe (not the pocket) in a three levels house where the wifi modem was placed at the firts floor, and I was on a bed in the last. It performed good.

Hi pamelou, welcome to the family. I have had no problems with Wi-Fi connection before or after up grade until yesterday. At another house and I notice my Wi-Fi kept fadeing in and out until completely gone. Turning the device off and back on solved the problem. Every device has it hiccups. I may not like the way it acts at times but I love it.

PS. I hope you got your edge off Woot.com for $149.99.
