      Erin StoutAug 20, 2025
      If you're getting an 'Upgrade image is corrupted or Image is empty' error on your Pocketbook eBook Reader, the SWUPDATE.BIN file may be damaged, or there may not be enough space on the microSD card. Try deleting some files from your card and copying the SWUPDATE.BIN file onto it again. Re-download the file from www.pocketbook-int.com. If the error persists, try using a different card.

      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader displays a message that a book is damaged or protected, or if nothing happens when you try to open it, the book file may be corrupted. If the book was downloaded from an online store, try downloading it again. If the file opens on your PC but not on your device, save the book in another format such as TXT, DOC, or PDF.

    Why Pocketbook eBook Reader cannot save bookmarks, settings, and current position?
    • J
      Joseph JohnsonSep 7, 2025
      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader is unable to save bookmarks, settings, or your current position in a file, it could be due to a damaged file system or full internal memory. To check the disk, connect the device to a PC and check the disks: open My Computer, right-click on the selected disk, and select Properties > Service > Check Disk. Alternatively, delete books, images, or music files that you no longer need to free up space.

    What to do if Pocketbook eBook Reader says 'No upgrade image found'?
    • N
      Nicole CoxSep 9, 2025
      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader displays a 'No upgrade image found' error, it means the SWUPDATE.BIN file cannot be found on the microSD card. Try formatting your Micro SD card (make backup copies of all its content prior to formatting) and copy the file to the root of the empty card. If the error continues, use another card.
