So I have it plugged in and charging right now and I will look into how to do the firmware flash.

I did find it odd that there were 168 books on it...not odd that there were some preloaded, but odd that 2 of them that I saw were a couple of the Harlequin freebies that have been free since some time last year...one by Maureen Child and one by Michele Hauf? Also odd because the box said "75" free books.
I've got an "original" and mine had the Harlequin books on it as well.

1.9 is the very first firmware so I'd definitely update it (2.1 for ePub or 1.6 for Mobi). You'll need a micro SD to flash it.
