I am pretty sure that optimization is way off on my particular PocketPRO, which is why I mentioned poor quality control. There are several other things wrong with my PocketPRO, including thoroughly peeled paint, bum USB, and flaky SD card operation, that make me think that I just got a lemon when I purchased my PocketPRO. My 6" EZReader is so much better in all those aspects that it is the one that I use the most. I just use the PocketPRO for a traveling reader, and I can get by with that OK.
That's the file.
USB IS flakey with Intel on mine (I added a USB1.1 card that I use only pith my PEz. Solid), Paint was only an annoyance. My PEz is now showing normal WEAR from heavy use. My 4G SD card works but is easily corrupted while loading from the PC Might be my fault by disconnecting to quickly after clicking eject.
