Jetbook no longer supporting epub?

Just flashed my reg Jetbook to v35e. And it no longer supports epub format.

None of my epub's will load. I'm getting a "failed to open this file" error message. Epubs not loading from both resident memory and sd card.

Calibre generated news not loading either.

Epubs loaded fine with previous firmware.35d

Would like to restore to a previous version but it won't allow me do so.

Is there a way to reset to factory default?

Update: Tried to re-flash back to 35D wouldn't take. Flashing back to 35A did work however. And my epub files are now working again.

Going to hold off upgrading until a more stable/final firmware version appears.

Anyone know why the conflict with epubs in 35e compared to earlier firmwares? ADE?

Did notice the Adobe Sytems TM in the 35e splash screen and this made me a little nervous in regards to possible crippling proprietary issues that could arise.

I used 35e and had no trouble with ePUB. Back to 35a for me though so I could use tselling's mods.

I'll add that the majority of epubs that were not loading for me were those I had converted with Calibre. Gutenberg epubs loaded okay but had the annoying zoom bug.

I saw this synopsis on a Google Search on Jetbook. It states it is from "9 hours ago."

I see no News Release on the Jetbook site. Any net detectives out there that can discover more on this?

Maybe the "9 hours ago " is a mislabel and this is old news????
