And what about the thing with library books? It is fixed but they do not tell about it? |

I just downloaded and upgraded my Cybook gen3. Yes, the overall interface plus page refresh rate is much faster. However, it now has problems opening some pdf files (these are medical articles/journals in pdf format) that I used to be able to open with the older firmware. But, I decided that I will keep the Cybook as a leisure reading material and use my Asus EEEPC or my Macbook to read the medical pdfs.

Page turns and lookup are definitely faster for me -- I just read fiction on it (mostly mysteries), so I'm happy with it. (The other thing I'd really like to see is a folder menu.)

The only thing I find worth mentioning in this update if buffering - but - it only works when you push button consequently.
For lookup that raises its usability and lowers its frustration factor noticeably . But, but, but... When you lookup and are dazzled by speed and then after reading couple of sentences push to turn the page... delay seems to last eternally Cybook probably goes into sleep after every refresh if the event is not closely followed by another...

One of the new features is "new directory view". Not the zip or CBR format support I was hoping for yet, but that should be sufficient to easily read comics/mangas on the reader.
So I placed some jpg's in a separate folder and boot the bookeen. It reads them, but.....it just shows all the files together. No actual folder navigating, I might as well just put all the files in the root, just like I did before as an emergency solution . Also, I have no clue what the "new interface features" are *edit* ah, nevermind then Last edited by Boeboe; 05-12-2008 at 08:33 AM. |

( I've got all my books in folders , mostly by author , makes it easier to locate volumes within series - though I've had to rename a few just so they do go in correct order ) |

If it's in stock why the 12 days delay? It surely shouldn't take two weeks to process an order?

Before the software 'upgrade' I had very few page-turn misses .. Now it happens at least every other, maybe more like 3 out of 4 times .. it's getting frustrating but I'm hoping that it will eventually get ironed out!
This 'upgrade' really feels like something they threw together to stop us moaning about it and it's not really 'doing' anything .. Ho hum .. wonder when the next 'upgrade' will be ? Loopy |

While I am not exactly ecstatic over this new firmware, I think that the button buffer management actually might be better....if.....
....when pressing the page advance (or back) button, the button is held for more than just an instant I am finding that I have yet to get a missed page turn. This appears to be a different behavior than firmware 538, but more 'testing' is needed. Has anyone else seen this? -Jeff |
