OK so apparently having had an Ectaco ereader before this new Pocketbook Pro 912 did NOT prepare me for figuring out how to even set the calendar or the clock, much less anything else.

And yes, yes I downloaded and printed all 71 pages of the Owners Manual. I still cant even figure out how to get started. Either the manual assumes your familiar with the OS, Or it assumes an intuivity (is that even a word??) that I do not possess.

I have managed to plug it in to charge it. however, The Owners Manual (hereafter referred to as TOM), right off said I would get a choice between 'charge' or 'pc'. Never happened. I have a screen telling me to download new software instead. Tried to turn it completely off...but keeps returning to that screen. Apparently it REALLY wants the upgrade.

I did, however, find the screen with listings and clock and calendar...and sat with TOM for a few hours trying to intuit how to change the date and time. Nope.

So... thank you for being patient with this so far.

Heres the question: Is there anyone out there anywhere in the U.S. who HAS and USES one of these? And who might be willing to take me thru teeny tiny idiotic baby steps with the reader?

I havent a clue what Im supposed to do first, besides charge the battery fully,much less 2nd, 3rd ad nauseum.

I want to reset the clock, reset the calendar, and understand why I could find a list of widgets, but no way to reset such things.

I cant even IMAGINE what getting my ebooks onto it is going to require!

Thank you to anyone out there who might have mercy on me. All I want to do is READ!!! sigh
