Any thought I had about buying one of Astak readers for my daughter's family has gone out the window. This has too high a learning curve for average computer user out there. If I buy them a reader, it will be a Kindle.
It sounds like the problem was more user error than device problems, since your reinstall worked. I had no problems updating the firmware on my EZ-Reader and Pocket Pro. I also have not had any problems reading ADE/Overdrive books from the library.

I do find that the font size on the ADE/Overdrive books too small at all the zoom levels except the largest. This I think is due to the publisher creating the fonts too small to begin with. When I create Epub books with Calibre I up the font size to where I want it.
