I used firmware upgrade to reboot the device and I'm relieved that it became normal again..

Good to hear that you were able to fix the problem. I've never heard any reports like this before. Did you download the right file, for the 2.0 firmware? Were you able to get the plugin working after reinstalling the firmware?
Unfortunately my DR1000 died earlier this week, it would crash if you picked it up, or just randomly when using it. I charged the battery overnight, and reflashed the firmware, but it didn't help.
I suspected some loose cable connection or soldering joints on the motherboard, and since iRex (or IRX Innovations now) doesn't service this model anymore, I opened the case to check. I must have damaged something, because it doesn't boot at all anymore, and I accidentally broke one of the flat cable connectors.
This means that I cannot test the djvu plugin properly anymore. I plan to upload the source code of the current version to github soon, and I might make another release when the final dr1000 firware comes out, but I won't add any new features.
I've replaced my DR1000 with an iPad by the way. I was disappointed that even almost two years after the release of the DR1000, there still isn't a reader that comes close to its features. The new Pocketbook 902 and 903 might do the trick, but they're not yet available, and obviously very new, and I don't really want to go through the cycle of beta firmwares and promised new features again. And like iRex, Pocketbook is a small company, who knows whether they are still around in a few years or whether spare parts will be available.
I'm going to miss the wacom stylus, the daylight readable anti-reflective screen (the iPad screen is like a mirror in comparison) and the open source SDK, but the iPad does have many things going for it. The hardware quality is obviously much better, operation is very snappy, and there are many useful applications (or apps, I should say).
