Thanks very much for the replies!

I forgot about cpio (that was a long time ago for me). I tried it but all it said was "malformed number".

The attached file did go wrong so here follows some output of the qte.img file:

It is output of od -ah

Code:

Sorry but the layout is a bit messed up.

I did a "file" on this file too and VMS/Alpha as file type seems a bit strange for this device as it is ARM.

As for the cpio: should I use special options to extract files from this supposedly cpio archive?

Thanks for any hints you can give.

And if it leads nowhere I will not buy the ereader: strange all these companies that sell products with doubtfull applications (I read that on a dutch ereader forum) and at the same time preventing anybody to do something about these problems. I am old enough to know that support for such a product will stop at the time it works more or less or when they made a new product that supposedly is much better.
