I am assuming I should be able to flash it without it? Anyone know if they have instructions somewhere on how to do it?

The only ones I found at Cool-ers website was the following: http://www.coolreaders.com/fw.asp
Though I did like that they had a video showing how to do the update.

I am afraid it is not possible to do it with out an SD card and must follow that instruction vid while doing update.

An SD card 2GB should not be more than 10 USD, some that came with a SD USB reader should be no more than 15 USD!
A USB multi card reader should be no more than 15 USD by itself. for 25 USD or less, you can get both card and device, Don't pay more than 25 USD! Consider multi card readers reads micro sd and other cards for the computer, itis worth having one handy.

Lastest news indicates, PVI which is the ODM maker of E-ink has gain taiwan government approval of buying E-ink, this means the screen makers now officially owns the technology on the E-papers, that means it is possible for PVI to pay no paitent $ while making these E-ink products (they own the tech now.). This would mean E-ink technology powered panels be cheaper very soon...
