If tags means some slow method of selecting them I do not want them. Folders are fast (and a folder could correspond to a tag). The important thing is that displaying a menu every time you look for a file with a specific tag is to slow.
My first five votes is for folders. Then re-mappable buttons. |

1. Adjustable margins (like in the desktop version of mobipocket) or at least the ability to set none.
2. Remappable buttons 3. CHM support 4. When you turn it on to go to the last book and page read 5. Folders |

And make new folders for authors I have a lot of books of. I would also probably try to collect all Hugo nominated works that are available and save them in a structure sorted by year. |

And the GeorgetteHeyer book you've read stays in the GeorgetteHeyer folder? I'm genuinely curious, because I can see (after nearly a week) that I'm going to have to impose some kind of structure on my books at some point and I want to know what actually works for folks.

Now this isn't *that* big a problem with 80 or fewer ebooks, but put 900 ebooks on the SD card and finding that next ebook in a series can be difficult and time-consuming! The Library *should* be able to show all ebooks and sub-folders within a given folder - without listing the ebooks contained in the sub-folders! I should be able to select a sub-folder and see only the ebooks inside that sub-folder as well as any sub-sub-folders in there (but not the ebooks contained within those sub-folders). Plus, since even such dinky programs as WinZip and WinRAR understand the idea of an icon to represent the next-higher-folder within a directory chain (usually expressed as a folder icon immediately followed by two periods (dots)), I or others would have no problem backing up the chain to the root, /eBooks, folder.

I'd love to see the ability to save typeface and size settings into presets. I've found a combination that works very well for me, but when sharing the device (especially with folks what're hard of seeing), the option to toggle back and forth between my setting and a larger, clearer one would be awfully cool.
Also, for word-collectors, a way to use the lookup function to save wordlists (or just to log your lookup choices, heck) would be great for review and drilling. - Danny |

Has there been any word from Booken on a release timetable for firmware updates? I haven't seen a damn thing out of them since October.

I think a comment in their blog mentioned December so we can always hope for January.

Well, after using my Cybook for a few days, here are my suggestions for the next firmware. It's amazing how with little changes the cybook could be way better.
1.- Option to boot directly into last opened file. (like the iLiad) 2.- " Customize button mapping 3.- Text highlighting 4.- Battery level display while reading a book. 5.- Sort by author (better library navigation in general) |

The "look up" mode disappear after each page turning. It should stay until removed or shoul have a quicker access e.g. : the 4th knob on the left of the e-book.
