The reason I'm able to compare these products is that I have owned both a Sony and an iLiad before buying my Gen3.

No "seems"; I
do think that Bookeen are the best - no doubt about it.

but their product is lacking. The software needs a lot of fixes that I think should have been done before the thing was ever sold, considering the exhorbitant cost of these things.

I'm sorry that you feel that way - may I ask in what way you feel it to be lacking? As I said in my earlier post, they've fixed pretty much all the bugs that have been reported and personally - with the exception of library management (which could use a little improvement) I think it's a pretty damned good product.

I am glad to have my reader, but it was not worth the price, and the problems could have long ago been fixed if the company cared to fix them.

None of us are in a position to know what could or couldn't "have been fixed long ago", are we? (Or do you know something that we dont'?) Bookeen have been in the eBook reader business longer than any other company on the market, but they are only a small outfit and software development
does take time.
If you don't think the Gen3 is worth the money, I'd honestly suggest that you sell it. Given the waiting list for it, you should easily be able to get back what you payed for it. BUT, if you think there is a significantly better product out there somewhere, I really think you'll be in for a disappointment.
