I have also tried K3 Noob's Guide and the download files there but XP would not install USB drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! K3 is stuck for days now on boot image with child reading under tree. It cannot be identified on both my machines when connected via USB. Tried resetting, opening it too and removing battery. Nothing works.

THANKS!
Keep it connected to a charger or a powered USB port while waiting to solve this problem! ! ! !

You can't tell what the K3 (or any e-ink machine) is doing until it updates the screen. The e-ink screens are "meta-stable", you could remove the screen (or just the battery) and set it on a shelf, it will continue to display what was last written to it for months (or perhaps years).
