I recently bought one on ebay and saw that it wasn't fully updated since it wouldn't register with amazon. So I upgraded the firmware manually and it worked. However, in doing so I lost the text to speech functionality. I thought maybe it was a fluke but I looked into it and I guess the Authors Guild deemed that it was against copyright or something so they removed it. Any chance someone still has the old 2.5.3 firmware for the D00701 B003 model? I don't care about registering if it removes the T2S functionality.
