I wish the first firmware update had come quicker, I found several of the issues fixed then to be real show-stoppers while now I'm still relatively satisfied with the reading experience. Plenty of room for improvement but I can wait.
Releasing often is definitely the ideal. I personally would love to deliver small bunches of goodies to you guys at regular intervals. Couple of things stand in the way:

1. Firmware is a different game than, say, an iphone app. We have to be extra careful, which adds time.

2. We have to work on multiple projects sometimes, so that adds time.
