Well this is annoying. I just grabbed the latest version and this one won't even boot. I get to the Boot Menu and pressing the "1" key does zip. Pressing the "2" key launches into the normal Sony firmware successfully though--so its not like the Boot Menu is seizing up the whole unit or anything. The ebook Applications choice just doesn't work.

Had the previous version on there before this, but wish I'd backed it up, because the ebook apps website doesn't seem to keep the older versions on hand.

I'm waiting at least 2 minutes, so its not like its still loading (plus pressing the Sony boot option wouldn't work if it was).

EDIT - Never mind. As with most technical problems, it came down to user error. I unzipped the new version onto my SD card, but forgot the previous version was installed on my device memory. This obviously caused a conflict. Clearing all the files off my SD and copying the new version to the device memory fixed it all.
