How much of a 'need to' is the firmware thing. Can you not get your own content on it without that version? I certainly would want to get it all the way upgraded having read some of your posts on the subject, but is there a basic level of functionality below version 3.1?

Thanks for your help!
Below firmware 3.1, there is 2.0 which I had with my backup REB1200 and would allow .RES folders to be transferred to the CF card, not .imp ebooks. Then there were some firmwares like 2.3 that prevented any personal content from being loaded, see the early REB1200 Yahoo Group postings or http://www.chromakinetics.com/REB1200/FAQ.htm#firmware

Plus after you migrate the firmware to 4.2, then you can purchase online/current ebooks from www.ebookwise.com or www.fictionwise.com as well as surf the internet using Impserve (much better than with the EBW1150). Have a look at my internet surfing pictures in my REB1200 Album and EBW1150 Album!
