I have search the threads and they seem to wander on me so I will be direct. I have the 7_24 firmware and would like to keep it but I am unable to open any ADE content that I transfer over from my laptop. I have re initialize the reader and have the PDReader functioning (had the nook app hack in place for a while but that is a different story). When I contacted Pandigital they recommend using the latest firmware now before I go and mess up my set up does anyone have the 8_6 or even the latest firmware working with ADE (signed PDF) files?thanks,mark a
