Joepie, you don't surf the internet for a very good reason: it does not work. You can't receive decent RSS, because it just does not work. The definitive firmware was due LAST SUMMER not next year! The writing app was said to be almost finished months ago and still is not out. Etc., etc.
I agree that the latest firmware is quite stable for reading purposes. That's not a selling point, but the very very least a buyer might expect from a reading device. At this point we are all applauding firmwares that do not crash on a daily basis. But that's not the way things should be.
The notorious silence of Pocketbook on this forum in each topic that raises this question is deafening.

I'm glad you are enthousiastic about your multi-function device that can only read epubs. But I would certainly not buy one again and do think V1k1ng1001 had perhaps better look elsewhere.
