After reading through three pages of trial and tribulations, is there a consensus to wait this out for two weeks to a month to see if there are newer uploads by Boyue to correct these post installation restart issues? Thankfully I was stopped from steamrolling ahead after seeing the update info on Goodreader because of the removed firmware file. At that point I came straight to Mobileread and am I glad I did. Thanks for the link to the updated instruction sheet which led to the missing firmware. However, after reading through the rest of the posts and seeing the (ongoing) restart issues, this still appears to be a work in progress.
I use my Mars strictly as an e-reader and side load ALL of my titles so the only time I use WiFi is whenever there was an upgrade or I need to update my one app which is eReader Prestigio. That is what I use for my reader rather than the default and also can create individual library sections within it wherein to keep my titles by subject. It also has a great look even in b&w.
Again, my thanks to all for being here. This forum continues to be a real lifesaver!
