- try restoring the device to factory default state (this wipes all books, bookmarks ... EVERYTHING) This is the last resort.
I am pretty sure that owner of the nearest Internet Cafe can help them with most of those tasks when they go in during "slow" hours, ask nicely, look hopeless enough, and pay for one hour of PC use.
If nothing of the above works they can purchase a microSD card and a card reader and get books on the device this way.
You can send them MIcroSD card with books stuck between two pieces of cardboard in an envelope by airmail.
There are other things they can do, just come back and tell us how the above worked.

Very good points
kacir. For some reason I assumed that the local distributor in Israel inspected the device and refused to fix it under warranty there. But if it is just a PC connectivity issue it might be indeed easily solved by trying options listed above.
