Holding the home key after ejecting helped me see some of the books, but some still don{t show, possibly because thet are bigger files with pictures.

I bought this kind of as a test. Ive given it to my girlfriend whos totally non technical.
I think for her it is too hard to use, all this home key holding or DRM stuff, or using Caliber. The touch interface doesn{t follow the conventions from Android and ipad - instead of flicking left and right to browse which book to choose you have to click at the bottom arrow. I keep trying to flick and then having to go back.

Ill tr ya bit more but i think
Ill either sell it and try out a Kobo instead)because kobo can do kindle books once rooted), or Kindle or keep it for myself to hack around with.
