In the UK, WH Smiths is currently selling this ereader for £30. After 2 seconds thought I bought one. I haven't used it yet, in fact I can't use it, because the screen shows "updating the software on your reader...".

I tried holding the power key down for various lengths of time, I tried the home key, the menu key etc. I tried recharging it (via USB). I tried staring hard at it. Nothing.

Any ideas?

Mike

PS I'm moderately used to Kindles etc but this is my 1st try with a Kobo. I was hoping to give it to my younger son who likes to read but I suspect I need to fix this before handing it over.
