1. The FBreader description page appears.

2. The text from the most recently opened book appears.

3. The file opens correctly (this only happens on the second attempt to open a TXT file).

I have contacted Aluratek support. They were very responsive and sent me a new version of the firmware; however, it did not fix my problem. I responded back to them that it did not work. I have not heard from them since May 18.

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem?

My software version is v17. Note that the support web site only has version 15 available. (No, you cannot downgrade the Aluratek firmware to a previous version - I tried).

Just as a note, my wife received her Aluratek yesterday from Sears (got it $99). It has software v15 and works just fine with TXT files.

This problem is minor. The Aluratek is a great buy. Both my wife and I enjoy the form factor, how it operates, etc. I highly recommend it.

Welcome to Mobileread Jim! This happened to me twice when I first received my Libre last year. It never happened again, before or after the firmware upgrade to .15k.

Did you contact Aluratek through their ticket system? I have found the online chat more responsive.
