Golly, those are expensive on BOL! It is a nice, fast hardware, but this is REALLY too much!

I love my Cool-er after the firmware update. I had the no bootup issue, too and succeeded to upgrade my Cool-er successfully. Handling those three buttons (Ok, third side button and reset) is a bit of a challenge, but it worked out nicely. I discovered a nice aside bonus, btw. if you have a Sony=Ericsson handy (with the mini USB-plug) you can use that loader to reload your Cool-er battery while still being able to read. I like that!

By the way, the Cool-er is going now to the last read book, when you turn it on.

I did not have a lot of success with the FB2 files, btw. They might be readable, but I really didn't care too much about them. RTF was not something I will upload there either. I have now mostly epubs on my reader (I have scaled those up to 130%) and they are just displaying greatly. So are the reflow PDFs (I read only text PDFs, no technical stuff) and the PRC/Mobi are a good alternative (those are displayed without cover but fine otherwise)

I would love to have a bigger base font size (16pt?) on the epubs in a future FW update, though!
