Turning off WiFi doesn't work. Upon factory reset, the Elipsa gives you two choices: WiFi or Desktop app sync. You cannot proceed from that page without making a choice. The desktop forces a firmware upgrade. I didn't try shutting off my WiFi network to see what will happen yet, but I can tell you that the Elipsa needs an internet connection to download the handwriting recognition resources. Without those resources, one cannot create or edit notebooks.

The new install seems more stable. I've been sideloading books and purchasing (free) books without issue. Overdrive and Pocket work. But I've been here before. Within 24 hours the glitches begin. This is my fourth factory reset. Here's hoping I fixed things this time.
