EDIT.

I followed these steps:

1. Formatted a used SD Card (8 GB). unzipped the downloaded img file to desktop. Put it on SD card using https://sourceforge.net/projects/win...e=typ_redirect
2. Removed the front casing with a blunt kitchen knife (this voids the guarantee). I put the blade (not the tip) in the small ridge a the side and levered the front casing from the back. Some of the snapping hooks broke of, so this is probably not the best way to do this. But it holds well after reassembling.
3. Unscrewed the 4 tiny screws. the printed circuit board can now easily be removed from the back casing in one piece with the screen.
4. Got rid of the old SD card. And changed it with the new card.
5. Screwed printboard/screen back in place.
6. Switched it on. It worked.
7. Snapped the front back in place.
8. Enjoying some happy reads now.
