Scott: When you open the bookshelf, I'm assuming from your message that when you press right to enter the list of authors or all books, that the lists are both empty? If so, you may want to try to wait for the unit to rebuild your book catalog. This can take a minute or two if you have a big collection. You can confirm that it is rebuilding the catalog by pressing status twice. Can you give us more information about exactly what happened when your unit stopd downloading podcasts and books?

Although I did a back-up a few weeks ago, I could not find the back-up files under the utilities back-up option. Does anyone have a work around? I suppose the books should still appear as files using file explorer. I hope some of the rss reader issues particularly will be fixed in version 1.0. I'm becoming rather discouraged with some of these plaguing issues. Thanks. Scott
