Do I try to upgrade it?

Any assistance would be great.
Here's what I did, and what might work best for you: Try one thing at a time.

1. Set up your wifi, then your email.

2. Learn to use the browser -- find out what all the icons mean and what you get by pressing the Menu button or double-tapping the screen.

3. Download or sideload a book and learn about all that's available on the e-ink screen. There are several menus and you can do different things depending on whether you put a book in the Library or read it from Storage.

4. Try out the calendar, working with both the e-ink and the LCD screens.

5. Try the camera, audio recorder, Docs-to-Go, etc.

6. Install an app or two.

7. Find your way around ES File Explorer, set up your LAN connection if you have one.

That much took me about 2 months.

Once you're comfortable with your new device you can decide whether it does what you want as-is, or whether you want to try the update.

Good luck, and have fun!!!
