Hi. I got the 701 yesterday and charged it. Today I turned it on: asked to update "software" - which I suppose is "firmware" elsewhere. I copied the instructions, bought an SD, found it would not fit in either of our desktop computers but did fit our laptop. Downloaded firmware 2.0.3, after several tries seemed to get 7-Zip to unzip it and save it on the SD.

with the Pocketbook was turned off, I held down the "volume+" button whilst pressing the "on/off" button. No "Eclair". Just the first screen asking for new software.

So I followed the instructions exactly, inserting the SD card while the book was on, then shutting down the book, then starting up as instructed. No "Eclair".

Please help!
