Hey all,

I searched and searched yesterday and there doesn't seem to be an answer to my issue except that the device may be faulty. I got this off Ebay from someone who said everything worked. I was looking for a reader that could get my books from Google books. I know I can't browse or purchase books anymore, but not interested in that. Just wanted to be able to access my Google Books on an I-Ink device. So I got this. It says it is on 1.29 firmware. It will "see" the wifi try to connect, then I get the message that there was a problem connecting to the internet, then a slash through the wifi icon in the top right corner. I thought maybe it was a security/password issue, so I've tried it on multiple wifi connections both secure and unsecure. I've tried to find another downloadable firmware file...maybe downgrading will get it to work.

Just so you know I am tech savy. I have rooted several android devices and such. I have also tried to download the files from the iriver site and they always come out as being corrupt. I know I can always just load books to it manually, but it sort of defeats the purpose for me getting this device. Any help would be appreciated.
