I also got mine in early 2008, so its an early model, which unfortunately means that the firmware upgrade to make it start quicker doesn't do anything. So it goes. It comes with being an early(ish) adopter.

But otherwise, the only problem is an occasional need to hard reset (a few times a year).

I'm still a happy user, and would probably buy another Bookeen device.

I've got little incentive to go Kindle or Sony (especially as I don't buy DRMed books).

My only real gripe is with the design of the single button and its location (it can be hard on the thumb after a while), but that's common to all readers of its generation, not just the Cybook.
