Excellent info! You know, we should start collecting the most critical "what you need to know to get the most from your PocketPro" info into a single FAQ or thread to gather all the wisdom/experience in one place!

Yes, the BeBook Mini and the Pocket Pro are both Hanlin V5s. This is typically true of of the Jinke device resellers around the world. They all use stock hardware, with their brand name on it, and most use only cosmetically changed firmware. Lbook is one exception, they customize the firmware to some extent. For example, their V3 has bigger fonts in the menus - see here for screenshots.

Robert I sure hope that the delay in the firmware update and the being very quiet about it all means that just maybe we are getting very close to having the ereader added to the firmware.
I care hope cann't I.

This sort of thing is ideal for the wiki.

Would that be a wiki sticky or a sticky wiki?

Certainly a forum connected to a wiki works well for people to discuss things.

Does the Pocket PRO or EZ Reader have history when using ePub via ADE?

[kennyc]

I didn't see any history or read anything in the manual about it...

He is looking for a back button which I believe he knows is not yet available.

Thanks, Dale. I'm sure, though, that when the Pocket Pro does get a "back" button it will be the most powerful back button ever seen in the history of reading devices .

Not only significantly faster than any competitive back button, but available in designer colors and supporting more than 20 languages! With ADE support! You will not find a better back button in a lifetime of searching.



I say this with a deep affection and not out of hostility or mean-spiritedness. From everything I've seen, I really like Robertb. He reminds me of a former boss who spoke and crafted our sales and marketing pitches in a very similar vein!

By the way -- in all seriousness -- I think that this message thread just saved me from possibly serious injury! I was about to leave my desk to use the men's room when I saw the message and decided to add my obnoxious two cents. While I was typing, there was a thundering crash from the men's room. The large wall mirror there had fallen right off the wall, sending broken glass everywhere. Had I been in there, I think I would've almost certainly been hurt!
