Right. I also bought the 302 in view of the announced writing app and internet. I end up with an expensive device that does not do what I bought it for and with a very mediocre reading screen (in comparison to non touch screens).
I'm afraid that if the pb302 is abandonware that means bye bye Pocketbook to me. Unless of course they do come up with the promised firmware within a reasonable (which is very short) term. Or unless they offer a decent trade-in (replace for free with 603; I would even accept a trade-in against the 602).
Pity, because I did like the possibilities the Pocketbook firmware offers.
Edit november 15: no reaction from PB yet to any of this since the post of guyanonimous and krish on november 12.
