Hello,

Hmmm... *DO* I have 'so little belief'? That is a very relevant question. One with no easy or simple answer, or so I believe right this moment.

You must understand that we at NAEB did *NOT* receive our promised firmware update - in fact we will have to wait at least until Friday (and maybe beyond, but the promise is Friday). If I had the firmware update and could see the progress *already made*, I could give a resounding *YES* to your question about having faith in it. If I had to state an opinion based *SOLELY* upon the version 0.91 firmware and on my current level of frustration - at this moment - well... my faith is a bit rocky right now.

Do I see potential in the Cybook Gen3? Yes. Yes I do. Do I believe the folks at Bookeen will end up delivering a solid product. Yes again. Do I believe they'll bring it to market by the end of the month? Ask me again next Monday.

Do I like being able to create Mobi versions of my current HTML and RTF files, complete with Tables of Content and the like? You betcha! Do I regret that the current HTML reader doesn't handle hyperlinks to other files? Absolutely! Do I believe that problem will go away in near-future updates? Yes. Am I frustrated by the fact that each Mobi ebook *must* be in the My Documents|My eBooks folder - with no ability to create sub-folders for my various genre categories? Undeniably! Again, that problem, as with the inability to open and read purchased Secure Mobipocket ebooks, should go away soon.

Will I be doing a 'preliminary' review of the Cybook Gen3? Yes. We've decided to do the preliminary reviews based upon the version we've got in hand - we're not waiting any longer.

Derek
