To boot the JBL is tempermental and reads files HALF the time in some cases.
You should NOT have to be a hacker just to use an eReader.

It is not difficult to find DRM Removal information using Google, if you can't
find any that describes a simple process, now a days, then you are not very
proficient in the use of a search engine.
I begin to wonder if you know the meaning of the term "archaic", last I
checked people are still using Credit Cards and names.
As I pointed out in my original post, the bookshelf page contains unlock
information (for each download file, in fact), including the exact spelling and
capitalization for the "name" part and the last 4 of the proper credit card that
will unlock that file. If that is not enough, the support pages go into much
greater detail.
The JBL "boots" just fine, whether into the main program or into the update
routine.
I have no way of knowing what files you are trying to get the JBL to read,
but it reads pretty much all the valid files I have fed it. They do have to
conform to the general requirements of the device, just like any other ebook
reading device.
True you don't need to be a hacker to use a JBL. You don't need to know
how to pound a nail to use a hammer, but you can certainly improve your
results if you bother to learn a little technique.
If you bother to learn a little about the different formats and the tiniest
portion of file format converters like the "Calibre" (also supported on this
site) you should be able to have almost any ebook file readable on your
JBL.
