The DX/DXG only reads PDF (badly) and original mobi. Maybe text. Certainly not epub.

Also if it's been flat the date resets to 1970 and nothing works.


type
;date
into search and it will show Date, time and timezone.

It's unlikely to work if it has 1970

Only two ways to set date:
1) Connect to cellular. It can use 2G GSM EDGE or 3G (if an International version). Takes up to a day. If you are in the USA it likely can't connect. Mostly finds 2G EDGE here in Ireland though there is still 3G.

2) Jail break and setup USB Networking. I did jail break (I have covers as sleep screen now) but I didn't get networking working, but didn't spend much time.

Or it could be the Flash memory.

Allegedly it's low on RAM so never got the azw3 backport firmware of the K3.
