Smile Just got my Pocketbook IQ!!! Slide me not working

Sweet I Just got my pocketbook IQ today and did not even order it till almost the 13th! Amazon is fast lol! It has 2.0.3 firmware uploaded on it already so thats nice and saves me the trouble. I just saw someone posted a file with an updated version of the firmware and its so tempting but i think i will hold off on rooting it unless you guys seem to think it would be a good idea. I just dont want to lose everything if they ever do the 2.2 upgrade for android.

My only problem I am having is that slidme will not open at all its already 4.0 it says the app slideme marketplace(process.com.slideme.sam.manger) has stopped unexpectedly) Please try again. then force close

Also I have a question about being able to get e-books from the libary? How does that work and am i cable doing that with the IQ?

Thank you so much in Advance . I am very happy with the IQ so far!

My experience has been that downloads do, in fact, go to the SD card by default.

Good thing their cheap enough to get a 2GB one, although this may be paving the way for the super SD cards we saw at CES that went up to 64 GB

PB 701 - Wizard

Hi.

This device is driving me crazy, probably because I have no smart phone background. I don't seem to be able to do anything (except set the correct time)

The User Manual, in step 3 after "getting started", "Follow the Wizard instructions to customize the main parameters. After finishing the customization a Main Menu will appear". Perhaps if I can get this Wizard to appear I will be able to get the PB working for me.

How can I get the Wizard?

First things first: make sure you have the latest (dec 10) version of the firmware.

I am not sure what is not working for you?

What do you see right now on your IQ?

I turn on the book - opening page is always "Thank you" , etc recommending update software - then seven apparently meaningless letters appear - then green background with lady bugs. I unlock and get a bluish screen divided into three sections. Top section shows books last opened, the middle section shows six icons, e.g., library, notes, dictionary, the bottom section shows the covers of three Bookland books. No response from any of the icons. Press the menu button and five icons appear at the bottom of the screen: search, notifications, settings, add and wallpaper. The setting works.

Very grateful for any advice, Hiaig.
