Hmm, indeed looks that way, they took the file down. There were errors or received "cease & desist" order from greedy Amazon due to mobi support? Anyway, I use it now.

Perhaps it was buggy or something. Anyway, grab it here: http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4308535. If someone could grab it and seed it, would be appreciated, as this comp won't be on constantly.

Hi everyone,

I visit the Jinke web site quite frequently looking for the ever new firmware update, today I was received with a warning from firefox stating that the site I was visiting was harmfull and known to host malware. I never had any kind of problem from their site, but again they might have been hacked.
Did the same thing happened to any of you, or was this just a false alarm?

Why bother to torrent the firmware when there is a direct link available to download it?

Ummm, which link are you referring to? The http://www.lbook.org/downloads/v3upd...6-20080816.zip that doesn't work (which is what Sankar pointed out and led to the torrent) or another one?

You mean http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/E...ice/update.asp ? It looks OK. Also there is the lbook firmware as well http://lbook.ua/ru/download/lBook%20V3 and it's the one I prefer (the second download icon does the trick). After you install that update start the device, click OK, click button 6, click button 2 then select your language; default is Russian.

Well, I've just visited the Jinke website (http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/E...ice/update.asp) and again google signals it as a "reported attack site". At least is what my firefox says...

anyway, there's a new firmware there with a date of 2008-07-07. I checked yesterday and it wasn't there so... it must be new :/

here's the description:
1. Improve HTML format.
2. Improve PDF format, support encrypted PDF file.
3. Improve PNG display effect.
4. Update the new parser of FB2.
5. Optimize the menus of Ukraine, Russian, Turkish and Bulgarian languages.
6. Use the Founder Font Library to replace the current Chinese font library.
7. Add the menu of Hungarian language.
8.Support lit and ppt files.

Unfortunately I still couldn'te get it to download... maybe tomorrow.

ArgonZ I see the V3 update hanlin V1.27 2008-07-07 at the Jinke website (http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/E...ice/update.asp) and I can download it right now. I'm using Firefox and not receiving any "attack site" messages. Can you download the update from a different PC?

ArgonZ is right about google: it seems that google spidered the site and got the bad end of some automated scripts. Read here: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/d...ice/update.asp

Solution: grab firefox and no-script. I doubt the firmware itself contains any malware.

And now there's also a new lBook firmware, 1.27-20080723, as always without a helpful description of what's new, at http://www.lbook.org/downloads/v3upd...7-20080723.zip

It appears to add .lit support, although the viewer exhibits similar problems as the epub viewer when it comes to re-flowing a zoomed in page. Hopefully that'll be fixed before too long. If they can bring the viewer up to the same level as that used for fb2 it'd be great.

On the down side, it looks like they've also removed the mobi support. Which is a shame as the only problem with that was the 4 second page turn. Although that was a big enough problem to make me stick with fb2 for now.

Well, I still can't download the Jinke new firmware, but that's ok since I will keep to lbook for now, because for some reason it crashes a little less frequently than the Jinkes firmware. But it still crashes
And since the fb2 reader wasn't updated on the last version I guess I'll skip this one too.

By the way, did any one noticed the lack of Arial font on the previous firmware?

I agree with you regarding jinke firmware crashing frequntly. But try this 1.27 release, the crashing has altogether disappeared . and I have a small problem may be some one can help in the lbook firmware the fb2 book dont seem to remember where I left off last and starts from the first page . Am I missing something or we have to make a book mark before we switch off.
thanks in advance
