Hello,

First time posting.. I just picked up an EZ Reader at Fry's today.. great price $229 after sale and rebates.. Anyways, the unit has old firmware on it.. from Oct of 2008. I found the firmware update on mobiebook for Jan 2009. I read the instructions from Jinke on how to update the V3. I even had a 1GB SD card as the EZ Reader comes with a 2GB card which the instructions say to use a 1GB card. All so far was good.

I followed the instructions by pulling the update file out of the rar and putting the file on the root of the SD card. I even added a free ebook on it to confirm that the reader can see files on this SD card. (it does see the book just fine)

But when I start the update process it does a check of the file and says it is an invalid file. I even pulled the bebook update file to see and same results. I must be doing something simple wrongly but I can not see what it might be.

Anyone have any suggestions?
