I do not see the system / hidden files and folders when I connect the reader to the computer. What to do? Where and how can I find system / hidden files and folders?
On the computer (BB, PC), in the settings of the Explorer, you must enable the display of "Hidden and system folders and files."
For Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:

I still did not understand anything (a). You can somehow find a folder differently.system?
If you do not want to bother with the view of hidden and system folders, you can simply add the system to the address line where the drive letter is displayed (F: \ system should turn out, where F: \ is the letter of the connected reader).
It will be necessary to write with your hands once, then you just need to select this item in one click with the mouse.

Installation of additional programs:

Coolreader

PocketBook 515 (Post vadeus # 39499341)
The advantages of the program “CoolReader” over the regular program “FBRearder”:
- “CoolReader” understands tables, can scale illustrations, can display footnotes at the bottom of a page, can break a page into two columns in landscape orientation (imitation of a book reversal), allows changing visual saturation of fonts using gamma correction and controlling hinting parameters, by analogy with "FBRearder180" can turn the pages on the slope of the case (for models with an accelerometer), allows you to customize the appearance of the menu using skins, supports custom styles (css) of documents.

Back until the message Firmware update ... appears on the screen.

Petr71 Question on firmware.

All correctly answered, I did it too.)

[vadeus]

M

Cleaned flood.

[naddik]

Dear forum users, please help.
The book is frozen, shows only an hourglass and everything ... the second day does not react to anything.
How to reboot the device?

[Stopkin]

naddik,Is it not exactly discharged to zero? Can it charge from the outlet first?

[naddik]

StopkinNo, it was charged to the full.

[Stopkin]

naddik,Dyk two days for PB in the on state - a considerable time. But if it is after charging (full, or only partial?) and lain even a couple of days before lagging ... especially since many people in the neighboring forum wrote about the rapid discharge of the battery ..
I would still have a good charge. it does not cost anything and is not difficult.
if it does not help, then, probably, to the service, since it is still completely new and under warranty.

I remember that for the PB360, in case of a hang, it was recommended to format the device. or confuse something?

for PB360, in case of a hang, it was recommended to format the device. or confuse something?

In PB 360 was the coveted Reset button.

[smirnovka]

and there is not what? and something can be replaced? (type left key plus joystick down ....)
monitored on the 360th reset I had to press every few months

[Petr71]

Try pushing the buttons back and forth at the same time and turning it off, hold for 10 seconds.

Chic screen: good:. I did not restrain myself - I bought a subject yesterday.
Somewhere about a month ago, when we appeared, looked / twisted - the screen was so-so, the usual VizPlex (this was in the first installments, which was confirmed by the PB staff). Yesterday I went to the boutique - prifigel, could not resist.
Actuallyhereimpressions are well described, I agree.
Tomorrow, for comparison, I will make pictures of screens 515 and 360.

[myh1979]

Problem!
Download R515.4.1.904 from off site
during the firmware after "Create empty database .." writes "Update failed"
Then it reboots — language selection — license confirmation — and when you select a time zone, it displays “Could non time zone set”
and a new language ...

[vadeus]

myh1979,
Go again.

[myh1979]

Cured. Renamed the folder "SYSTEM" to "system" and that's it.

[vadeus]

myh1979,
Where did you get her caps? : blink:

OOOO, congratulations !!! ;) From this point on, pliz
I also twist it, I twist it, I want to buy ....
That is - VizPlex - the screen is bad. And in the store you need to ask - Pearl? And the new screen is better / different? In the sense that I came here so blonde, I ask them “what screen is here?”, And I could check the necessary answer (well, of course, but how else!) The seller’s answer - how to distinguish them? but you know, I already see such a carelessly hidden sarcastically-haughty smile of the seller and at the same time I’ll scoff the sucker with my thoughts .... for some reason, every time in electronics stores it arises from sellers with my questions -)) ...

Useless.

[email protected], 14:52

And the new screen is better / different?

More contrast, the substrate is whiter. Today I tried to make pictures in comparison with PB 360, something does not work: blush :. By eye, the differences are clearly visible, in the pictures the difference is minimal. : rolleyes:

Better, of course, in the store to compare several different books.

[Stopkin]

More contrast, the substrate is whiter.

It is better, if possible, to look at the release date - I don’t think that both barley and visplex are issued at the same time.
Pearl is definitely more contrast than the visplex, I agree.
But about the "substrate whiter" I can confidently say that it is not always. I, after the purchase, compared my Kindle with the v3 forehead - my Kindle has a grayer substrate. :(

[smirnovka]

Yeah, I see ... then sovadeus,- can you see the date of production of your 515?
