Hi HarryT
I do not think people are “moaning” here, at least I’m not, and yes I know (Bookeen is in the business for several years now, I have followed their early attempts in the eBook area) and agree with everything you say, I even say more, the feeling I have had from them up to now is of a very professional company.
The thing is… they have promised that “firmware release will be available shortly”, and the months begin to pass and nothing of the “shortly”, instead they appear with a “art” thing costing another fortune. I personally have nothing against the “art” thing, I will just not buy it, but of course I can imagine that other people will.
Finally, and that’s why I think is important, as you say the product is very impressive (and that Sony part, remember that then they had no competition at the e-ink level besides the costly Iliad, and now the Cybook as), but it’s time to do it better fast.
Bookeen has a lider position here and it would be great if they could maintain it.
BTW: I do not think “crashing on dictionary lookup, font issues, bookmark problems,” are “minor bugs”.
Best regards,
