Just updated firmware, now can't read DRM'd mobi books

Hi all,
I just installed the most recent firmware on my Astak EZ Reader and while I expected the mobi PID to change, it does not tell me what it changed to. Crap!! I'm right in the middle of a book now and just downloaded 8 more before installing this new firmware. I hope I'm just being dense and it's right in front of my nose, but the message I get when I try to open these books is "Not support DRM file type". I had no problem reading DRM'd mobi formats before... maybe I need to go back to the previous version... ugh. Thanks for any help.

As I understand it, the newer firmware supports Adobe DRM and cannot support mobi DRM at the same time (licencing restrictions I am told)

Thank you. I'll reinstall the last firmware then. I should have done better research.
