Obviously these things are subjective, but as a software developer myself, I'd define a
major bug as one which prevents, or seriously disrupts, the functioning of the device. None of the outstanding bugs (that I'm aware of) do this, hence I'd classify them as
minor bugs. Annoying, but not something which prevents you from reading a book.
If I had experienced the bookmark bug that some people have them I'd probably feel differently about it, because that one really
would be serious for me, since I use bookmarks to mark pages which need correcting when I'm proofreading the books I create. I've never experienced a single issue with bookmarks, however. Goodness knows why, when some people have had so many. Perhaps it's the make of SD card I'm using; perhaps it's something I'm doing (or not doing) which the people who have the issue are not (or are). I'd love to know why some people see this bug and others don't. As anyone who's involved in the software business will know, fixing intermittent bugs - or ones which you're totally unable to reproduce yourself - is a tough problem.
