Wrong thread, try again (she can not have a PW-1 if it is running 5.7.anything).

Neither the PW-1 nor the PW-2 are in production any longer. So if she purchased new, it is neither of those. *) Go to (two entries below here in the index as I write this) : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=275877 *) Complete Step #1 of the Step-by-Step section *) Return here when you can tell us the nickname of what device your wife has. |

For your firmware you need this thread. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=275877 That is why it is clarified in the title. |

Follow the current, correct, supported, thread. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=275877 That one will refer you back here at the appropriate point. Trust me, you do not want to jump into the middle of the process by ignoring all that goes before and comes after what you read here. Old? What is that? Can you beat 71? I just got back from a regular doctor's visit yesterday, she confirms it, I am still alive. Although I must continue to cut back in my involvement here (or take a ton more BP meds).

Thanks, I think I've got it down now, insofar as where to read. (and as for meds, my pharmacist just put a new wing on his house....) |

Mostly because I had a hand in getting the current one to work. Any of our other members here can answer the other subject questions, probably better than I can. (Med. expenses? The VA is requesting that the DoD host one less war next year so they can support my med requirements.) Last edited by knc1; 12-09-2016 at 09:37 AM. |

Anyhoo, I think everything went ok, boots right into the koreader filemanager, so it's all good, so far. Doing this first thing in the morning seems to be way better than just before bed.... Thanks for all the help.... |
