Momghoti,

Okay, have you gone out and purchased a simple 64MB SD card? Or a 256MB version? One of those slightly older blue with blue/red/white label San Disk cards? Could you do that and format it to FAT32? Then unzip the update_kernel.zip file onto that SD card. That should solve your problem. Note that I'm only suggesting such a small card because, used, they're gonna be cheaper and you don't want to waste a lot of money just to test if it's your SD card or your Cybook which is having the problem.
