All users of the Cybook can expect thumb and finger problems similar to "gamers thumb" and "blackberry thumb". The device ultimately fails because its not comfortable to use.
Hopefully bookeen allows users to remap the volume controls such that they can be used for page turning. (They're a lot easier to press) Even with this, the cybook isn't comfortable for reading.
I feel really bummed out... My $500 has been wasted...

i agree that where the volume buttons are would be a better place for the page turns and also agree that you have to apply definite 'pressure' to get a page turn but as Harry says 'immense pressure' suggests that there's something wrong !!
