besides a lot of other problems with the buggy 1.0 firmware I noticed recently a bookmark bug:

After the Cybook has been switched on for a longer period of time (many hours or days) bookmarks cannot be set anymore. I can call the bookmark menu and select "Add bookmark" but nothing will happen. A reboot will always solve that problem.

Usually the Cybook save the last position you read in a book even without using a bookmark. In the case of this bug it will not. Currently I set a new bookmark every few pages, just to make sure I will not end up looking desperately for the page I was reading before the last reboot.

Does anybody recogneize this problem? Any hints? I am really looking forward to the next firmware update hoping it will kill a lot of those nasty bugs.

PS: I should mention that I only use prc-files (books I bought or I created with the MobiPocket Creator).

What I've always found helpful is to, when I want to turn it off - say for going to sleep for the night - is to first exit to the Library. When you do that it always bookmarks your current position. I've noticed just turing the Cybook off sometimes loses the current position.

I haven't noticed other bookmarking problems because I'm not one for 'bookmarking' a novel. Sorry.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Derek
