Need manual for literati e-reader i got this from ebay but it didn't come with a manual to help me figure it out

Hi, Pam. I feel your pain! I had a Literati for about two years, and when it died a couple of months ago I pounced on a new one from a reseller. Alas, the Literati website no longer exists, so the new reader tries and tries to retrieve that critical update but always fails. Too bad, because the reader as shipped is very buggy (doesn't have all the font sizes/options, can't log in to Kobo [I can't select the login button once I've put in my password], can't even recognize the SD card). Calls to Sharper Image booted me to Kobo; Kobo's very nice e-mail said that they can't help with hardware problems and gave me the MerchSource website, along with a couple of phone numbers. The MerchSource website gives only a phone number--for Kobo. So I called.

I just got off the phone with a very friendly young man who informed me that, sadly, they do not have that software update lurking anywhere. He apparently scored a $10 Literati somewhere that he's experimented with so he could understand his customer calls, and the only thing he's found is this discussion site. He says he's had good luck using Adobe Digital Editions (discussed on that site) to get things onto the reader. I haven't tried it yet (still at work), but there are detailed instructions given.

I hope this helps!

Ooh. My 2-year-old Literati did the same thing. Multiple attempts to reset (paperclip in the hole in the back) and to do a hard reset (regular reset + pressing and holding the power button) failed. It wouldn't even turn off; I let the battery run down and recharged through several cycles. No dice. Dead, dead, dead. I suggest that you try the resets, but I fear that your reader is just kaput and will need recycling [MerchSource allegedly will help with that: (800) 374-2744.] Scouring other chat threads didn't seem to yield any other options, but you can look here and maybe have better luck. Sorry.

i really can only help you if the page is backwards, but if i figure this one out i will post for you

go to menu and select wireless networking enable your wireless network

Unfortunately, the owner's manual has a warning on page 6 that you are not to attempt to remove the battery, and that there are no user serviceable parts, It also states that the battery cannot be removed. That said, some people will try anyway. Just remember if you do that, you void any warranties on the unit. You can call their tech support at 866-204-4714 for more information. Or, you can go to http://www.LiteratiReader.com/support for more details.

There are no drivers for the Literati. You can try updating the firmware to 1.9 to see if it fixes the problem. To update, connect the Literati to your network via WiFi. The update will be pushed to you.

Unfortunately once LCD screens crack, there isn't any way to fix them on your own. I'm guessing that around the crack, there is black liquid inside of the screen. Once the screen cracks, you either need to send it in to get repaired which is probably decently expensive. You can try bringing it back to the store you bought it at and seeing if they can do anything to help you out. I hope this helps! Good luck. Please rate my solution!
