lol, thx taming... got my knuckles rapped for "spamming" (not in a polite "hey, new to the site please don't duplicate" sort of way either) and I participate in a lot of forums... never had that happen before. Regardless, I'm not here to bicker with mods, purely for info and feedback so hopefully no hard feelings guys - water under the bridge

Anyway, I decided after much consideration, that i would exchange instead of returning my unit since I really did enjoy it. I got it for $179 so I figure one more chance couldn't hurt.

Well, at first I was extremely bitter when it took SIX attempts to install the update! After multiple attempts and various errors (image error 3 times, unable to restart error 5 times) I was packing everything back up for a refund. Then for some unknown reason - install went through.

So I set my WIFI sleep to "Never", downloaded overdrive, app-killer (from default app shop), adobe reader, flash, and a few free books just to test. This time I decided to not install my SD card since people seem to have experienced issues with mounting/unmounting errors.

So far, so good! Two days of 12+ hours sleep and no death sleep as of yet. Also, overdrive library as well as kobo books are working fine along with pretty good WIFI stability and video. No major app crashes either but I haven't worked it out too much. Fingers Crossed!

Any advice to maintain stability, please keep it coming
