Latest snapshot is 20090812. Keep in mind that it's unofficial and is a work-in-progress ...

That's expected behaviour with the newest snapshots. As Dave_S explained above, the file system was converted to jffs2 in this snapshot. That extra long pause in the middle of the "OpenInkpot" screen was part of that conversion. If you flash a newer snapshot in the future, it shouldn't take as long because your internal storage will already be jffs2.
This is something dottedmag will probably explain here and on the OpenInkpot site when these newer snapshots are officially announced. |

However, once it is set up correctly, using WinSCP to manage the on board library is much more convenient than using an SD card. I avoid the SD card as much as possible because it is an extra drain on the battery, and some users seem to have had reliability issues when solely using the SD card. |

I raised the issue of the new snapshot(s) being geared more towards storing one's library on the SD card rather than main memory only because that was the sense of an earlier thread -- https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50192 -- on the subject. For myself, I would prefer continuing to store my library on the main memory, but only if I could manage to set up the WinSCP link. While I know my way aroung Linux reasonably well, it's my wife (the computer programmer) who really knows her way around Windows. I have initially (inexplicably?) gotten bogged down (as you surmised your family would also) by your statement "For instance, the instructions require that you set your own PC's IP address for the USB network connection to 192.168.111.2" I haven't yet figured out where in Windows I go to do this. Then there's the issue of downloading and installing linux.inf. The instructions presume one has already downloaded it, but don't say where from, and once downloaded or installed, where it's to be found when the need arises to "point to it." Also, WinSCP requires the insertion of a "key." What and where is this? Anyway, I feel like a bit of a jerk in not being able to sort all these things out on my own, considering my general computer literacy. |

The linux.inf is right there on the same page as the instructions. You should download it to a location on your PC where you can find it later. When you plug in your reader with the usb cable, a Windows dialogue should pop up, asking for a driver. Navigate to the folder where you saved your linux.inf file and choose it.

As far as where to set your static IP for the OpenInkpot USB TCP/IP connection, it is in the Network Connections that you can access from the Control Panel among other ways. You will only see that connection in Network Connections when the reader with OpenInkpot is attached to your computer by USB. Then, in the Internet Protocol section of the Properties window for that connection, you set your static IP address as indicated by the OpenInkpot instructions. |

Anyway, thanks to your (and Moe's) help I think I'm making some progress. But I would like to use WinSCP. |

On the first connection some credentials need to be set up so you will get a few extra popups to work through on the very first connection. On all subsequent connections WinSCP initially throws a couple of warning messages and then works perfectly, at least in my case. |
