View Full Version : Just three more days in March delphidb96 03-29-2008, 01:30 AM Has anyone heard anything about the promised Cybook Gen 3 firmware upgrade? If I were a betting man, I'd predict a release on Monday (3/31/08). But my luck doesn't always run that good! :D :D :D Derek HarryT 03-29-2008, 02:36 AM It'll be released when it's ready. Moaning about it if 1st Apr comes along with no sign of it isn't going to do any good :). Ortep 03-29-2008, 05:16 AM I did hear from an ebook shop owner in the Netherlands that the 31st is the date that the firmware will be released. He told that he had inside information.

He told that he had inside information. See?!? That's MY problem! I have no 'inside' information! Gots ta gits me summa dat 'inside' information! :) :) Derek GeoffC 03-29-2008, 12:46 PM I did hear from an ebook shop owner in the Netherlands that the 31st is the date that the firmware will be released.

But tomorrow we will be sure delphidb96 03-30-2008, 11:13 AM He told me so. But tomorrow we will be sure *IF* he's right, we'll all be happy, Happy, HAPPY! If not, well, there will be no joy in Mudville tomorrow night. :) Derek JSWolf 03-30-2008, 11:26 AM I'd be really interested in what's new in the firmware if it is released on Monday. Dave Berk 03-30-2008, 11:42 AM regardless of what happens, You should make a new thread on tuesday which will read: Cybook released new firmware today. HarryT 03-30-2008, 12:18 PM I'd be really interested in what's new in the firmware if it is released on Monday. I think we all are, Jon :). Now that they've fixed most of the initial bugs, it would be nice to get some genuine usability enhancements in this upgrade. I think we've been pretty much promised folder support and better PDF handling. bwaldron 03-30-2008, 12:53 PM The optimum time to issue any firmware updates is ; when they can be certain it works ..... Indeed. Sparrow 03-30-2008, 02:42 PM ...I think we've been pretty much promised folder support and better PDF handling. According to their January blog update (http://bookeen.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html): "We have also noted all the remarks of our first customers : folder support, delete key, better sound interface and our dev team is already working on them. Please note that, even if we are not very responsive, we always read all your emails and take in account your feedback." That same blog entry went on to say: "We will definitely be more active on this blog and give you fresh news about Bookeen and Cybook Gen3 in the next few days." The only blog entry in the two months since has been to say they'll be going to the Paris bookfair :rolleyes:. HarryT 03-31-2008, 08:12 AM He told me so. But tomorrow we will be sure Hi Ortep, <tapping fingers impatiently> Well? Where is it? :) GeoffC 03-31-2008, 08:30 AM Did anyone check it's 2008 , and not ..... 2009 ? Ortep 03-31-2008, 10:33 AM Hi Ortep, <tapping fingers impatiently> Well? Where is it? :) Euhhh...somebody wrote something about it on the frontpage :) http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22399 delphidb96 03-31-2008, 10:45 AM Yep. There's no joy in Mudville tonight! :(:angry::( Derek |
