The firmware actually looks the same as the one from this link

and I think I will stick to the Romanian one because it has the added feature of deleting or copying a file right on the device and the delete function is really great to have. Alas, the Romanian firmware has the bug that the menus for FB2 files stay in Romanian regardless of the system setting but I pretty much use epub for all my files anyhow.
But I am very happy to see that Astak is really trying to put out new firmware, so many other companies nowadays throw a device on the market and leave the development hanging...

Dear booknut:

Thank you. We are trying. I have always seen MobileRead Forum as Interactive for Astak anyway. No matter how hard a factory will try to release a good device, it is going to be the little tweaks that will make the device great. Nowadays you cannot please all on everything... but (in the immortal words of Spock): "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". Now we will try to make the Pocket PRO an even better device.

One thing that I wish I could change. The factory sends us these firmware upgrades but does not say much on what is on them. I am trying to get the factory to give us a bullet-point rundown on what is on each firmware upgrade.
