Hello

Long time reader, first time poster, etc

I am on the verge of throwing my damn Glo out of the window, was on the bus today and finished a book (Last Testament of Kings if anyone is interested, great book!) and went to open a new one and the Glo froze, forcing a paper clip reset. After repeated attempts at opening various Kobo and side-loaded books with the same result, I did a factory reset, had to update and re-download all my books over a 2G connection with my phone as a WiFi hotspot (took about an hour) and nothing has changed.

All the books I could open before now don't work, and only 2 Kobo books out of probably 8 I have on the device will actually open. The rest just hang on the library screen for 5 minutes then I get a blank white screen.

This firmware is a joke, and to make matters worse, I am moving house so my broadband has been disconnected this morning, so I can't even download an earlier firmware and just read my side-loaded books.

Anyone have any suggestions? short of sending the device back and having nothing to read until I get a replacement.

Thanks in advance.
