Yeah, the SD Card version is pretty unstable. When it works, it's great, but last night it froze up a couple of times. You make a good point about flashing the firmware, I may try that.

It's just that I'm not that much of a computer guy so I was scared. But hey, I've had it for two days now, so what the heck. I'm gonna try it today over lunch.

So to go back to the original BeBook Firmware, do I get that from somewhere (I couldn't find it on their site) or will the firmware updates that they release do the trick?
