Yes, it looks like its delayed. Neither www.theezreader.com/html/support_firmware.asp nor www.astak.com/downloadcenter.asp seem to have it yet.

Never a stupid question!!

Dear Cloggy:

There are NO stupid questions. A forum is for everybody to discuss freely.

The new revised firmware upgrade we are talking about is for the 5 inch Pocket PRO. We are waiting on the factory for the 6 inch EZ Reader firmware upgrade. I am sorry for the confusion.

The firmware upgrade for the 6 inch is due to Astak this week and then we will thoroughly test it before posting. Hopefully, somewhere around 8 working days from now the 6 inch FI will be posted.

Welcome to our forum! Please keep posting!!

lBook does their own which may have differences. You cannot expect Astak to support lBook so if their are problems I would suggest you reload the firmware and reconfirm the problem before contacting Astak.

Dear Laura and Cancelx:

They were supposed to get it up and posted very quickly.

Now they tell me that it should be posted fully today!

You can imagine that we are taking our time with this as it has to be right and explained fully in wording.

Yes, just trying to make tech support easier

Kind of makes it difficult for Astak to diagnose either firmware or hardware problems if people aren't using their implementation of firmware on their hardware.
Dear All:

I am definitely NOT saying anything remotely troubling or bad about LBook firmware or others that are made for V3 and V5. They may be wonderful... but I would not know... and our techs would not know.

I am ONLY trying to say that having Astak firmware upgrades on there will likely make tech support (from our perspective and yours) easier! At least that way we can rule out any conflict from firmware upgrades we have zero expertise in. You would not want us telling you something to solve a problem with no knowledge. We admit we have zero knowledge about these other firmware upgrades.

Our tech people are highly competent about our own devices running our own firmware. Anything other may run fine; but could also conflict and we would never know.

Solicitous guessed this exactly!! Thank you!!

Hello Robertd,

Many thanks for the heads-up about regarding the 6" firmware version. I'll keep a close eye on this forum to check when it becomes available for download.

Also many thanks for your very comprehensive answers. Much appreciated!

Regards,
Dick

Absolutely agree! I was just wondering about the terminology "their implementation". I don't see it as Astak's implementation, so much as Jinke's with some mods to change the branding etc.

But even as I type that, I wonder if Jinke don't maintain a separate development branch for each customer, and maybe that's why a bug can creep into Astak's version, and maybe not be in BeBook's or the Jinke Hanlin version.

I think everybody should know that our evil old Program Manager did a great job on this one. Sure, I gave him the idea of using a Beta Tester and beat him severely to get it posted. BUT... the old stick-in-the-mud made it progress smoothly!

So, Thanks to Evil PM!!
