Gotta appreciate hackers

My e280 showed up, and it turns out it's v1 not v2, so not compatible for Audible audio books. It, and also the Sansa View, has the same problem with excruciatingly slow scanning. Luckily for me, someone who liked the hardware and had the ability made installable software with a great GUI for the e2xx v1 series that cured it. Press forward for a few seconds, and it scans slowly ahead. Keep pressing and it zips right along. No more getting almost to the end of a 14 hr mp3 ebook, only instead of turning the volume up, accidentally going back to the beginning of the sound file.
