Pocketbook IQ

sketcher · 12-02-2010, 12:25 PM

Hello all,

I just got my Pocketbook IQ today and have a couple of question. I hope anyone can help me with them.

When I start up the Pocketbook I get some kind of German message. Then when it ends loading I get an English homescreen. I did put the language on Dutch but the home screen stays in English. Is there a way to disable the German message en to get my homescreen in Dutch?

Also is there a way to alter the homescreen because I want to disable the statistics widget and the bookland widget. And maybe to disable some other stuff that eats performance to make it a bit faster.

I also have a question about the file manager, it sometimes doesn not work when I try to copy/rename/delete files. Is there anything I can do about that?

The last question

Because I have never worked with android, can someone point me to or tell me how to install stuff like a new browser and how to update firmware?

Thanks all.

I copied the free aps to my SD card and then just clicked on them and they install.

I get a Russian message ( if it is the same as the English one I had before), it directs you where to go to upgrade the firmware. We are all waiting on the new firmware along with the directions to upgrade.

I have AndExplorer which seems to work better than the Android File manager. I think it can be deleted, read the other posts. The other posts will give you links to Android aps.

I am also anxious about how to change the home screen widgets also.

You can use Open Home or LauncherPro to change your home screen. See Post #8 here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=109084

Those are good options. There is the ADW launcher that is another great option that you might want to try as well.

Thanks for the advise so far I'll try it out and see if I'll get it to work.
