$ntre timp am descoperit ;indle Touch si Nook Glow light....
$deea e ca m(am lovit de batranul Sony prin biblioteca si m(am gandit sa ma joc cu el, pt a o
initia pe mama in tainele cartilor electronice
Lis si !acut...
Cartile sunt in !ormat epub si mi(a luat ceva timp sa le pun pe card, din cau1a limitarilor
M'TB, dar am !ormatat in )indows S&(ul de 2Gb in Mat?2 si problemele au disparut.
0roblema a aparut atunci cand am observat ca nu sunt citite diacriticile in !isierele epub4
Sa re1olvam acesta problema...
. Conectam pe +SB ebook(ul la un computer si golim memoria interna a aparatului.
2. &escarcam o e"tensie de !irmware de aici, selectand modelul corect 3numele sunt
sugestive5.
?. &e1arhivam !isierul descarcat, iar in root(ul memoriei interne al aparatului punem
directorul P%SPInstaller.
