Just three more days in March
Has anyone heard anything about the promised Cybook Gen 3 firmware upgrade?

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 .

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.

The optimum time to issue any firmware updates is ; when they can be certain it works .....

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.

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 . |
