Hi Daniel,
My model has the RK2729 chip (I think but not opened it up yet), and runs Linux OS, with 2Gb memory. I has Adobe Mobile reader loaded from new and it works fine for the pdfs I have loaded. I could try to get you a set of the firmware off my unit if I can follow the directions of earlier posters in this topic, but may not be for a few days yet.

I think the manufacturer could be Chuwi http://www.chuwi.com/index.asp who are now making an a much improved Android OS on RK2918 chip with cam and wifi, but an earlier model which I think was Model E700 (now replaced by higher speced P700) has the same casing as ours but no current reference now to ours (made late 2010/early 2011) on that site. There is some info on www.slatedroid.com, and on How to Clone Rockchip Firmware | eHow.com , and on http:\\gadgetsland.net where some of the earlier posters to this thread did purchase their version of our unit.

However another site http://www.techcular.com/mebook-touc...eatures-price/ lists the WHITE version as "Mebook Touch is the latest color touchscreen eBook Reader which has released from Chinavasion"; amd its hardware spec is identical to my black one.

I am happy with my unit (with no cam) except that I would like to make it wifi enabled. My recent posting were to find out -
1) If the RK2729 units can be rooted to host Android OS; or
2) leaving thje original Linux OS on, can Linus drive a USB wifi adaptor (with a suitable linux driver) to make it communicate through wifi to my home wifi router? I am Linux-challenged Click the image to open in full size.

Is there someone out there who can advise me on this Linux/Wifi/RK2729 issue?
