Is this supposed to have Adobe DRM?]]> http://www.ectaco.com/posts/preList/20161/28044.page http://www.ectaco.com/posts/preList/20161/28044.page GMT
The PDF reflow is nice. And being able to switch it off and on is very
helpful for PDFs with embedded images.

Would one of your "bugs" be the epub settings for "Background Music"?

I can't really tell if the eReader DRM support is still there. The DRMed
PDB files I had on my SD all open without asking for unlocking data,
just like they did before the update. Maybe I'll have to buy another
ebook to test that out, but it looks like both DRM scams are supported.

In epub:
Side (1-9) buttons no longer act as shortcuts for the menu. In particular, I can no longer set a bookmark with the '3' button, instead needing to go to the menu key and then choose 3. I also can't go to the bookmarks with the '2' key.

Font size key cycles through the fonts, rather than giving you the menu. I like the menu better, but this is workable.

Table of Contents works well. No dictionary in epub.

Ereader: Works pretty much as before. No changes that I noticed.

pdf: Table of contents exists. The pdf's that I have available don't have any so could not test them out but will do so shortly. Font size cycles rather than give a menu. Reflow turns on and off, but again, I can't tell how well it works due to the pdf's I currently have on the machine. I will get some others on and test that as well.

A fictionwise eReader file authorized fine, using the codes that I previously had stored.

I had trouble with a BN epub. Are they supposed to work? It prompted me for my unlock name and number but, I was unable to open it, despite multiple tries. It opened on my computer, but not on the JBL.

I tried checking my account and re-downloading to the same results.

Maybe I am missing something. Despite earlier experience where all caps was fine, I tried using the proper case for the name, after all upper case failed.

Still can't figure out what is going on with the BN Epub. I tried with three different books and still can't get it to open. I have tried my name with and without my middle initial (I authorize with fictionwise without) with caps, small letters, and initial letter capped only and even with my email address. I know the Credit Card info is correct, so I don't know why it isn't opening.

Thanks for the input. It seems everything is functioning Ok besides the following.

1) [In B&N .ePub book]. Menu > Settings > Background music. Not available for JBL.
2) [B&N epub, ADE epub, ADE pdf. regular pdf]: Cant select side buttons unless you press the menu key first.
3) [B&N epub, ADE epub] No dictionary.
4) [B&N ePub, ADE ePub, EDE pdf]: font zoom button zooms automatically and deos not prompt a zoom menu.

FYI some of these things wont be seen as "bugs" by out development team and rather suggestions. I would only think #1 would definitely be fixed and also maybe #2.

have a good platform to make changes to match the preferences that

As always thanks for the input. The product manager determined #1 is a bug. Also , as someone pointed out in JB-5 v0.35k, when you got into an epub TOC and press the #8 it does not work.

Those things will be fixed, the others might be resolved but its not definite.

The #8 in epub TOC DOES work with the latest version of JBL firmware. I must say I'm really liking this upgrade. The epub TOC in particular is great. I can now easily read my Reason magazines on the JBL. The pdf reflow is nice as well.

The only "bug" I found was the background music menu option. I suspected this was something inadvertently ported over from the jetBook version. I too would welcome a return to the zoom menu rather than cycling through zoom levels.

A review of the DRM features is difficult for me to do as the first thing I do upon purchasing an ebook is to remove the DRM virus.

I installed the beta on my JBL Saturday night. There was no problem installing it per instructions. The device was recognized as a device right away from my laptop.

I opened a pdb-drm book that I bought from fictionwise. I've read the book many times on JBL, before updating to the beta, so I know there should be no issues with the book.

Now: The book opens no problem. It opens at font 18, a bit small sometimes. When I go to zoom - the menu does pop up, unlike for the epub-drm book.

Problem: Will not go to any other font size. I've tried them all. What it does is kick you back to the main menu again with the eBook menu highlighted. You can click on it again and it'll take you right back to you book lists etc...and no problem from there.

Thanks. I read a lot of PDFs on the JBL, so here you have some suggestions:

- The scroll in smalls steps (pressing and holding the arrow keys) has disappeared in version 16b (but it was present in version 16). It would be nice if you put it back (same with the grid zoom).

- Having a free zoom ratio (say 215% or whatever) would help to adjust exactly a pdf document width to the width of two screens width (or three screens-width or whatever is needed in order to make the fonts big enough).

- In order to read most pdf articles, you have to scroll left and right constantly. This cannot be avoided due to the size of the screen. However, it would help if button 0 was assigned to right-scroll and button 9 to left scroll. Buttons 0 to 9 are softer to press whereas the arrow keys are too hard (I get thumb-pain after reading a long pdf article ).

Hey,

Ok so with PDB books from fictionwise you get this response.
1) They open. When you select a font other then 18 it brings you back to the main menu.
2) OR it does not open at all, just brings you back to the main menu when you click on on them?

Is that correct?

[quote=pmrx]This was the easiest update, for me. With Adobe DRM books, though, it gives me the opportunity to input the unlock stuff, but after whirring along, tells me that it cannot open the book.

I've tried it on a couple of different books and I get the same info each time. [/quote]

I though the Name and CC input was only for B&N DRM not ADE DRM. Is this true? If so i'm not sure what info you would have to put in if they are in fact ADE DRM books.

[quote=rock_doctor]Just to let Ectaco know the new firmware has no effect on the text quiver that is present on some JBLs (like mine). Otherwise the firmware works fine.

Last, have found on some books that as I'm reading along text going from one page to the next doesn't make sense. If I opt to a smaller font then the missing sentences are there, as though one should have had to scroll down as one does with some of the PDF stuff. Am I explaining this well enough? It's been three different books so far, and none of them are the cheaply done ones, either. The last one I noticed is a Bantam Books publication.

I still love my JBL; plan on taking it on vacation with me at the end of the month. [/quote]

The Name & CC unlocking is for the B&N epub or the Secure eReader pdb
formated ebooks. The issue that has been a problem for most with the
B&N epub unlocking is that both the name and the CC number must be
entered with NO spaces.

The issue with missing words at the page turn, was a problem that
appeared with .pdb files, for awhile, and was corrected with a firmware
update. If it has returned with the latest update (0.16b) then I haven't
noticed it. Check again and let us know.

There would be no such thing as "Adobe ADE books (non-DRM)", if you
mean non-DRM .epub files that you are letting ADE manage for you,
that might be the problem. You could try adding the book without using
ADE.

Get yourself an SD Card and a USB to SD reader/writer for your PC.
Then put a Books and a Pictures folder on the root of the SD Card.
Then put a "Test" folder on the SD Card.
Now put some of your non-DRM .epub files in the "Test" folder.

Put the SD Card in the JBL.
When the SD card is shown in your eBooks menu it should have a test
folder. Inside that folder there should be your .epub ebooks listed.
Select one and read it.

PS; I have gone back to 15b and then back to 16b again with no
problems.

And thanks for the info on being able to return to .15. I might do that and buy the other format stuff in paper.

As an aside, I heard from Adobe that there is an JBL update .16e out that fixes Adobe DRM issues. I have been unable to find this firmware update, but have requested a link from Ectaco. ]]> http://www.ectaco.com/posts/preList/20161/28229.page http://www.ectaco.com/posts/preList/20161/28229.page GMT

Hmm... Adobe saying that makes me nervous, for the most part I doubt
I would like anything Adobe would consider "fixes (to) Adobe DRM issues".

Like most updates "their ready when they are ready".

"Yes, new version is already available.
We are planning to upload it to our websites by the end of the week."

Sounds as though 16e is soon to be available.

Any changes from 16b?]]> http://www.ectaco.com/posts/preList/20161/28242.page http://www.ectaco.com/posts/preList/20161/28242.page GMT
The initial loading seems a little slower, but that may be just me. It took about 12sec to build the initial TOC, also. The spacing and paragraphs look a little better, to me, as well. (The additional attention to the formatting may be slowing the initial load some.) Worth the wait, IMHO.
