Well, ive been running the current 15.2 firware and have no issues what so ever. If it comes with it, keep it ... my opion

FBreader = good thing =)

yep set it up to default to open epubs. there is also a config file listed here that will set that up for you ( that might be what your talking about )

If you dont care for the 360 wrist flip / rotate you will want to go into set up and disable it. this will prolong battery life also.

Maybe get the pictures for the shut down screen ( will cycle thru a ton of pictures so you have something different / purty to look at just before your books loads )

OOhh and speaking of that, I have it set up so that the start screen is the page I was last reading of the current book. that way current page is displayed really fast while the software boots.

Also might want to check out the "theme" topic, this will change / add features to the base control screen ( were you select books / settings etc etc. ). I personally love "sheeps". I think is fun and functional. ( one note, make sure you add a "Books" directory on your memory card and put your books in it. )

Maybe get calibre to start organizing your books in, this will allow you ease in converting other formats over to epub, and allow you to organize them.

I would then suggest you play around with the options in it for how it puts the books on to your reader. I have it set up so it organizes them in this fashion:

Books/Author sort/seriesname seriesnumber - book title
(ie - books/Jones, Larry/Chocolates of the world 03 - Mexican Mole)

this will allow ease of finding books by author, then the series , then the books in a series

Other then that, load up the books and enjoy reading. Its a nice little device
