But my unit was stuck in the boot screen, so Open Inkpot might not have been able to recover from it. Even so, I think it was simpler to return it and let Fry's deal with the problem. My replacement arrives tomorrow. I wish I’d known that. But my unit was stuck in the boot screen, so Open Inkpot might not have been able to recover from it.

I guess you'll read the infor if you plac on using openinkpot but I've managed to flash mine back and forth between OpenInkpot and some official firmware using the USB flashing stuff you can grab from the OpenInkpot website. I can only get it all to work on windows XP though. Personally I'm fairly happy with the device, and certainly happier with it running OpenInkpot. I got it to replace a Hanlin/BeBook with a broken screen and it should see me through until I decide to upgrade.
