iRiver have again upgraded the firmware for the “iRiver Story” to revision 1.6.1 (previous v1.6.0 has been removed).

So what is different?

1. Added Functions
a. Dithering function on PDF File and EPUB File
b. FB2Viewer function

2. Improvements

a. Loading Speed improved on PDF File

The firmware can be downloaded from [click on me].   Time to upgrade… fingers crossed it helps…

I have updated the firmware and it seems to basically work, for those that download it, here are the checksums:

Note: if you have downloaded v.1.6.1, the checksum’s should be:

If however your checksum’s are… then you have the earlier v1.6.0 which appears to have been removed from the website, so you need togo back to the website and re-download it.

Santa was very kind to me this year, as he has treated me to an iRiver Story ebook reader.

Hopefully this will help me become less reliant to printed books!

The first thing I found was that the firmware had been quietly updated to version 1.5. The changes are significant enough to state them and say that I have been using them for a couple of days and are delighted by the changes, thank you iriver.

The major changes to the firmware include:

. New Firmware supports “Table of contents” of PDF or Epub file.
Please press”Option”button on PDF file.
Cutting blank space of PDF file
-. New Firmware supports the function, Cutting blank space of PDF file.
-. Please press Zoom button and control its size with arrow btton.
After the size control is done, please press Enter button

* Power Option & User font
-. New Firmware supports “Power Option” & “Changing font”(Office file, Text file, Memo, Diary)
-. Menu -> Settings -> Power Option or Change Font

The minor changes are for me equally important, the last one is especially welcome
