Out of the box this is a disappointing unit.

As I posted elsewhere:
Quote:
No matter which file type it opens ONLY to the menu and does not even try to return to the open book.
Nasty. Very Nasty.

Starts VERRRRRY slowly-> MUST then display the ridiculous, useless grayscale animation-> stops at the 'Green Book' logo for too long-> and only THEN finally gets to the main menu.
A mere 5 or 6 more selections and I am FINALLY at my book. Woof.
Nice device.....Rotten software.
I will be posting a comparison/review based upon my experiences with 3 readers very soon.
But first I will be installing the 'Cooler Reader' firmware I've downloaded.
No way do I wish to try Astak's firmware unless it is somehow magically ALOT better...?

Best Wishes.
