Thanks for the Notice of the FW Update.

I had loaded FW 17d before and I have now updated to FW 18g.

My comment w/re to the FW update process is to reset the device, swap in the Card with the firmware, hold down the ">" first and then follow up with the holding in of the "Power Button", then keep pressing both even after the logo screen comes up. This should bring up the FW update screen.

If not have you tried doing the FW update from the Self Test menu. I'll look up the link and then update this note.

**Update**
Self-Test menu access is as follows
self-test menu? (Power on after "Reset" while holding the menu and zoom buttons) after the "Aluratek" page displays you can release all buttons and wait for the Self-test Menu

I did not find a "Firmware Update" option here but you might want to try the "Restore to Factory Default" and then do a complete re-boot.
Followed up with testing your access to the various menus and folders.

Then if all appears well - do a "reset" and re-try the FW update.

FW 18g is great. I believe Aluratek doesn't want to be left too far behind Ectaco's jetBook.

ePub now supports TOC as well as a "Find" option. There is also an "About Screen". Zooming continues to be in percentage where as the JB returned to No. of pixles in the font.

For PDF - TOC was there before but there is now a "Find" options as well and again the "About Screen". All other options have remained in place.


I don't know if ePub support for B&N has been added. I don't have any B&N e-books.

I noticed that the Patch level for both the JB and the ALP are now the same v18.
