2. Uncompress the Sony Updater (it's really a big zip file) and change the file eBookUpdater/assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat so that 110018040 reads 110018041 - once that's done, the Sony Updater will work at any time.
I did option 2 above and ran the updater. The updater said installing version xxxx41 and that completed just fine. However, the reader behaves exactly the same way ... it hangs on the Starting up... screen. How about this idea:

1. Run some DOS command to reformat the reader drive and then rerun the updater? I can always replace the books.
