Hi,
My first post and my first major problem.
I have had my Cybook for at least two years without any problems. As I am off on my holidays soon I bought 3 new books and plugged in my Gen 3 Cybook, my computer Vista 64 said it didnt recognise the device, its never done that before. I hadn't upgraded the firmware for well over a year so I thought I had better do that and installed the latest firmware. My Gen 3 rebooted and got as far as the three dots and the little book, the stage before it goes to the library and hung.
I have tried re-setting it but it boots as far as the three dot screen and hangs again. The only way to break this cycle is to plug it in to recharge (it was already on 100% before the upgrade) Now the orange power light is on.

What on earth is going on? Will I have to take paperbacks on holiday after all?
Any help would be brilliant, thanks
Stu
