Yes, you can still hide those things.

Is there a way to backup the current firmware of my Cybook Opus in case I want to revert to the original system?

Jovvi · 12-25-2009, 04:21 PM

I´m not sure it worked for me, how can you see if the upgrade is sucsessful? I have an Opus from october. What version/build shold the Opus show if the upgrade was sucsessful? Bookeen doen´t say, as far as I can see...

Well the install screen shows a message after it is completed and asks for a reboot. If you have a successful install it should show firmware version 2 build 1094 (if I remember correctly).

Jovvi · 12-25-2009, 04:34 PM

Oh right! Now it worked!

Godzil · 12-25-2009, 06:32 PM

1093 for the Mobi version and 1094 for the ePub version

Jozawun · 12-25-2009, 06:33 PM

It simply doesn't install for me. When I press the navigation button, it still just continues on to the library page. I have tried two different cards with the same result. In each card the computer shows the extracted update file.
Has anybody any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Godzil · 12-25-2009, 06:47 PM

Does your SD card show up in the library?

Which version of the firmware do you currently have?

fiery · 12-25-2009, 06:55 PM

1. The "Crop Margins" option works very well on my PDFs. I no longer need the PDFEdit application to crop those white margins that waste so much space on my Opus.
2. The bug with the missing SD card on start-up is not fixed, yet. Sometimes it appears, sometimes not.

@JOZAWUN
Try to format your SD in FAT32. Then put the update_kernel file there. Mine was formatted in FAT (FAT16) by default. Bookeen requires that SD card must be in FAT32. Notice that on Windows Vista and 7 you will need some third party utility as Seagate DiscWizard to format your SD card in FAT32. Also, make sure that you hold the center button. In my first attempt I found that I was holding also the right navigation button and it started as usual. Then I put the reader on a desk and with my index finger on the center key it worked fine

No, all that shows in the library is the E Ink blurb.
I have 1.2 (build 802).

You have to hold the enter button pressed for 10-20 seconds. It did not work with a couple of seconds as the instruction said.

BINGO; it worked when I put it on the desk and pressed down hard with a cylindrical communication device (or, pencil). Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't being stupid, just ham-fisted!

I had a 1GB SD card formatted as FAT16, and the firmware upgrade worked just nice. No problems at all.

Yes, if you hold the page turn button down, you will get fast page flipping with the 600 & 700.

He. He. He.
Guess what happens when you keep page forward [or page back] button pressed on the oldest of them all - Sony PRS-500?
It enters the fast page browsing mode ;-)

And I am not doing to describe PocketBook 360 ;-)
