But I did manage to get my hands on the old firmware (Thanks ProfJuli !) and downgraded my device and can now read the PDF's I've always been able to read.
Must be something in the water over there in Europe. I'm seeign Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 listed on eBay for between $259 and $299 as Buy It Now. If it costs $600 in Europe, that's a function of the European tax system - and thus not attributable to Bookeen.

And I am glad you got a copy of the Build 538 firmware.
