I looked on the forum for awhile to find the information, and even on the Astak website I couldn't find it. I realize many of you may be experienced eBook readers and know how to do this, but if I didn't have experience in IT, I might not have had as much success. After some searching, I found this information and thought it might be useful to others

Download the Firmware update from astak.com. The exact address is
http://www.astak.com/download/v5setu...k_09102009.rar
Unzip the archive.
Copy the Bin file to the root of your flash drive.
Turn off the device
Hold down the top button on the left side of the device, and push the power button.
Release the button when you hear two Beeps in a row. (on my device it took only a couple seconds)
After the device has finished, it will tell you to "Push any key to reboot" (I discovered that the power button is not one of the keys that will work)
After rebooting, your device should be updated.

I found the instructions here:

Since I bought my PEZ from astak.com, I thought maybe there might be others that were a bit puzzled if they weren't sure how to update their reader. I'm used to having to use a Flash updater so having it built into the device like that is rather nifty. My apologies if this is already typed up somewhere in the astak forum. I did try searching using phrases like beep-beep and other unique words to no avail.
