I have a prs-300 and tried to do the russian flash thingy and something went terribly wrong! I was stuck on eternal "opening book" screen. Charged and reset (won't shut off) and got the "flash unsuccessful, try again" message, then plugged it into my MacBook and it says eternally "updating firmware" but it doesn't.
I don't know how I can "reflash" it with my mac since everything I see available (like from the Russian site) is an exe so it won't do anything.
It won't hard reset. When I do connect it to my mac it shows up as unnamed with a DOS-looking file that says "protected."
Please help if you can...I love this little reader and I haven't had it long at all.
