Thanks for the info Robert. I'll wait until the black is back in stock then seeing as the date isn't too far away. Though unfortunately they won't be on sale then anymore but oh well.

I was under the impression from Astak's website and something I read on here somewhere that their products were on sale at the moment. Normally the PP is $229 but currently on sale for $199. I thought this sale was ending at the end of October.

But Robertb made it sound like there was some technical reason that the USB interface was slower, and I was wondering why that is? |

Like it fails. So, the SD reader method is 100% better I ran a simple test on all my SD cards to see what speed I was getting in the reader (timed a transfer of a 300MB MP3 file): 5.7 - 11.2 MBps 300MB is a good test size, as it will fit in the main storage on the PEz (as shipped). |

I just force USB to the slower USB1.1 standard and it succeeds. I would use the SD card method if the PocketPRO had any file management capability, like the older OpenInkpot had, to move books from the SD card to on board storage. I do not like leaving an SD card in my PocketPRO, so my alternative is to use the USB1.1 standard to put books on the PocketPRO. |

RobertB: could we get the a firmware change to allow a setting to allow the user to Force USB1.1 (even if they fix the problem. and it is their problem as none of the many USB2 storage devices I use has this problem). |

The only way I found to force USB1.1 on the computer was by doing it in the BIOS. That has the drawback of forcing all the USB ports to USB1.1 My method of forcing USB1.1 for just a set of ports was to put a USB1.1 hub on one of the ports.

I agree. This is a problem either with the V5's hardware or software, and Jinke needs to fix it. A USB 1.1 mode via the settings would be an acceptable work-around.

I just transferred several large files, through the usb cable to the PEZ.
I didn't have any problems, as I have had NO PROBLEMS at all on any aspects of the PEZ. One of the earlier posts reminded us that the USB port that you use on your computer needs to be the direct port, not an extension, AND some of the computers use internal extensions to the front or back of the unit. Before you cry foul that it is all PEZs having problems, check to make sure it's not your computer's ports. It seems only a handful of people have this problem, and by deduction reasoning, it is more likely your computer's hardware or software (i.e., firewall) problem than the firmware of the PEZ which works for everyone else. I empathize to your problem, but please don't demand a change to something that is working, just because you are having problems. AJ |
