The built-in "unzipper" in Windows doesn't like it, and neither does my rather old version of WinRAR. Looks like it's time to upgrade to the latest version of WinRAR - it can (according to the website) handle ".7z" archives, as fjtorres confirms.
Could you try to persuade PB to re-upload them as ZIP files? It would make life a LOT easier for people .
I use 7-zip. Main reason is it can do Rar as well as Zip files and its free.
It's not a problem for "techies" like us. It's "Joe Public" who's going to have a significant issue with this. It seems madness to release a firmware upgrade in an obscure compression format that the popular operating systems can't handle natively.

I'm afraid they still don't work for me. Just display as binary junk. If I right click and do a "Save As...", what should the file extension be? It doesn't work as a ZIP file!
It should be .7z
I have even managed to unpack it under Linux, after right click and selecting "save link target as" from menu
Made the update.
I see a change at long books names
What else?
Ok. I have installed the new firmware.
The update went without problem.
The device retains current theme and other settings and files.
Now, where is the beef?
- Those ridiculous page numbers in margins of epub are still there, and now they are extremely small, so both camps are going to get annoyed. Those that do not want the numbers will be annoyed because numbers are still there, those that need/want the numbers will be annoyed because the pagenumbers are very, very small now.
- I can't see any other change in Adobe Reader EDIT: there are 6 font sizes instead of 3, I am going back to the graynm76 version of FBReader
- It uses the good old FBReader, without options third-party versions have
- It does not add win1250 codepage to the list of formats.
Do we now have more than three font sizes for ePub files? That's my main issue with the "old" firmware.

There are 6 sizes. With quite large step ... OK, OK ... I am spoiled rotten with the third party FBReader (graynm76-fbreader180-app-0.8.0) where I have any font size I wish.

Adobe Viewer has been updated (smaller page numbers, for example)
I see a new "Last open books" philosophy. A pop-up list, where you are. Very nice.
But what is that "profile"? And how does double press work? (Key mapping for on/off)
