RE: Why bother to wait???
Guys, guys, guys!
Please! As anyone who's received and read the latest Bookeen newsletter knows, there are significant upgrades/changes in the upcoming firmware update. So should I give you a *really* bad review based upon firmware that I *KNOW* is out of date? Or should I present you with a review based upon up-to-date features, features and fixes which change my opinion? Or what if I give you a *glowing* review based upon the older firmware and the newer firmware turns out to be a total dud - maybe locks up my machine like a brick?
Which would you rather have? If I tell you I hate the reader and then come back with high praise, do you figure Bookeen's gotten its act together or do you decide I've been bought off? And if I tell you I love it, pointing out all there is good about it, then turn around and point out the terrible flaws in new update, do you then decide I'm wishy-washy and can't be trusted to know when it's daytime?
We here at NAEB expected firmware that was a bit further along - it wasn't. And we promised reviews based upon what we expected, not what we received. So we've been querying Bookeen as to just *when* we'd get our updated firmware. We now have a better idea of that. Plus, they've taken the feedback we and other previewers have given them to make hardware changes as well. I cannot tell you what they are, but I believe the production units will be improved enough to make them quite marketable.
Now, can I be more honest? You tell me.
