But I think it is a problem with all messages here about needing system files and the replies and the replies to the replies. And every such message is bad publicity for Bookeen because they are here because they do not answer their email in a timely manner.
The big issue, I believe, is the custom mods done to the OS by Bookeen - as well as the fact that the ebook reader app (Boo Reader) is all proprietary. I don't mind Bookeen keeping the apps proprietary, but I'd really like to see the source for the underlying OS.
