Oh, nothing to be scared of here. Installing the firmware update was a non event! Just make sure your Cybook battery is not sitting on empty and you might want to disable your antivirus, firewall and spyware apps while you do it (I didn't, but I imagine those things could potentially muck some things up)

Wasn't one of the new features going to be increased contrast? I mean I like the current contrast, but I thought I read that somewhere. Could be mistaken though...

No, I don't believe so. The contrast is a feature of the screen's hardware.
There is an option to use bold fonts - that increases the contrast. |

The internal memory is what's being re-flashed. Perhaps there are technical issues with doing it that way? Just a guess.

Could those people who were experiencing problems (any problems at all) please let us know ASAP if this firmware update has fixed them, please?

I hope my gurus find more hidden improvment!!! Regards Georges |

Oh well, it just would have been helpful, not like it's something I need. Besides, if it's true the update allows for faster page flipping, then that should help some. And so long as they've fixed the bookmarking issue it shouldn't be an issue. Anyhow, I've never read mobipocket before (it's not very compatible with my mac, which is the only device I tend to use for reading e-books). I'm new to all this, and my Cybook hasn't arrived for me to try it out. I'm just surprised since all the other readers have some form of page number. I didn't think it would be all that hard to configure page numbers or at least a percentage on the progress bar. But as I've mentioned I'm new to all this. Even if they never add page numbers, that won't stop me from wishing for them. Why are page numbers not supported by mobipocket format? |

Page numbers have been discussed ad naseum in numerous threads spread around this forum. Might I suggest you review this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=page+numbers or this one: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=page+numbers You can set an option to see a progress bar at the bottom of the page that will give you a relative view on where your are in the book. |
