I have a new Poke 3. When I open the built-in Neo-Reader it opens the EPUB file I have chosen but will not move beyond page 1 for about 50% of my files.

So I have installed FBReader, which I have used before. But I cannot find how to get past the welcome page and open a book, nor can I find any internal help. I can't use Internet help in the eBook as I don't have WiFi (all my computers connect by gigabit Ethernet) and so far my searches on line instruct me to do things that I do not understand, or to go to locations which do not seem to be present in my machine, and when I try to look up the terms that they use I don't understand the definitions either.

I'm sure I could, eventually, teach myself how to use a Poke 3 with FBReader - perhaps by first acquiring a doctorate in Computer Science. But this should not be necessary.

Can anyone point me at a Dummies Guide to findng how to set up Poke 3 + FBReader for reading (mostly EPUB) books without having to track down where ever more arcane settings are hidden? Please.

I didn't have this trouble with the Poke 2, nor with the Poke Pro.
