Have you ever gone directly to the Hanlin website for their V3 Firmware?
You will get the latest functionality that way…

Oh, yes. I’ve never actually used the Astak firmware – I replaced it with the Jinke firmware right away. And I even found a bonus, not widely released but very handy firmware version that never got archived on the Jinke site.
Until I, um, deal with some protected mobi, I’m avoiding the last round of firmware, since it will leave me unable to read those mobi files with the switch to epub.

Yup. Licensing pissing contest – apparently can’t have both epub and mobi drm support on the device. *inserts standard drm rant here and wishes had figured out the magic of lit sooner*
