So, I was finally able to get the 33g firmware installed on my system. There definitely seem to be some nice improvements in how it handles PDFs (The page turns are much faster). In addition, at least so far, it seems to handle text better than the old firmware I am currently on.

Unfortunately, my luck with epubs has been somewhat mixed. I had downloaded several Sherlock Holmes books from feedbooks in epub format and loaded them on the reader. A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. When I tried to open the first two books, I would get the hour glass symbol and nothing else. When I got the latter, it opened right up. Now, neither of the novels is particularly long, so it can't be the file size.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?
