What is going on? The firmware that was just posted the other day is gone and now there is an updater program that requires a PC, internet access and the Novel connected to your PC by USB cable. I guess I will give it a whirl and see what happens?

no big deal guys. the downloader worked for me. it downloaded the update image to the internal sd card, which I promptly saved off to my pc. :Dit is updating now...
clockworx,yep. installed no prob. I'm setting up the wifi now.
I think it just looks for a drive named "PD_Novel" and dumps the image on it. super hi-tech.

did you follow the directions?you need to power off (not put to sleep) the novel. after it shuts off, you need to hold the volume up ey and turn it on. release both keys when you see the updater graphic.this is pretty well documented here and by pd.
