Re. 5.0.1 : it only appeared to me after I did a Factory Reset (which I wanted to do anyway as I wanted to clean my device). It then asked whether I wanted to restore, saying it would at the same time install a pending FW. I said yes and there was 5.0.1 all of a sudden.

I think it is a much better FW as the 4.X.X versions were. I do not miss the carousel at all. I have it now working perfectly fine with my Overdrive, Zinio, Hoopla and Onleihe accounts. It did not play nice with those apps before, which was the reason for me to cease using it and for it becoming a paperweight.

I did not get and was not planning on getting any new tablets this season, so this is a nice surprise. Kind of a new device...
