> We are pleased to announce an update for the Zoomax eReader. If you are using the Zoomax eReader, an update to version 2.0 of the software will be available for download this morning. Attached to this email is a copy of the updated user guide as a Word Doc as well as release notes for this version of the software. The user guide is also available on the unit as an option in the main menu after the update.
> 
> If you are not connected to Wi-Fi, you may contact your local network library and they can provide the update on a cartridge. You can install the update manually using the cartridge. Directions for installing the update using Wi-Fi, or, manually using a cartridge are provided below.
> 
>                This update provides many under the hood fixes that should make your use of this device much smoother. It also includes added features such as  access to Daisy text-based files and NFB Newsline. Note that this update does not include access to Bookshare. We are diligently working to develop access to this service for this eReader. However, since it is taking longer than projected, we determined that it would be better to provide this update without it. As soon as bookshare access is available and stable for this unit, we will issue another update that includes bookshare. In the meanwhile, if you have any questions or comments regarding updating your machine, contact your network library. If they cannot assist you, they will put you in contact with Tier 2 Tech Support.
