I'm new to this message board and Im not sure where I shoud have put this. I apologize in advance if I should have put it somewhere else.

I bought the Slick (ER700-2) eReader yesterday at Big Lots. I have a Sony ereader also, I've had it for over a year now. I wanted this new one, though, because it plays videos, and I can listen to music and play audioboooks on it. Also, I put a lot of quilting patterns on my Sony and it not being color and so small makes it hard to see them.

Anyway, the Slick seems to be a decent little device, BUT, I can't get it to play videos! I've tried different formats, avi, mp4, etc and none of them will play. They are on there, but when I go to play it, it gives me an error message that says wrong file format.

I checked the user manual that comes with it and it says it supports those formats.

Can anyone PLEASE help me?

P.S. what board should this go on? I had no idea, LOL!
