I am starting to suspect you might have hardware problem with your PocketBook.
Do you hear, or did you hear rattling sound when you shake your device?
I have installed 15.3 without any problem.
Just unpack the swupdate_02Sep2010_360_ru_15_3b.zip file. You get the swupdate_02Sep2010_360_ru_15_3b.7Z file, and you need to unpack that AGAIN with a program called 7zip

I think they did this double packing on purpose. Only users that are able to unpack the file are computer savvy enough to provide meaningful feedback ;-)
So. After double unpacking you get SWUPDATE.BIN file. Load this file on card or into memory and proceed with flashing.
There is also FREEZE01.DAT file. Disregard that for the moment. I *think* this file is a dump generated by PocketBook when it crashes, so programmers can see what happened.
Even with the buggiest firmware I have rarely experienced more than one crash per day (several hours of using the device).
I have been using the last 15.2 for many days without a crash. Especially when I just read books - as opposed to trying to do interesting stuff with configuration of device or testing non-public version of FBReader 0.9.3
