The fact that that's been fixed alone makes the v538 firmware a big deal for me personally.
It might not hang or reboot, but it also doesn't find the word half the time - even though the word is in the dictionary. I started checking in the Desktop Reader every time a word isn't found on the cybook (which is often) and every single time the word has been in the dictionary. The cybook just doesn't find it.

I repeat: at these prices, these things should have been worked out before putting this thing for sale, and in this case, advertising dictionary integration.

Oh, and why did they sell something that would hang or reboot when you tried to use the dictionary in the first place? Is it not very obvious that that should have been worked out before selling the product? It is extremely obvious to me that Bookeen is all about selling and not about quality or customer service. How do I know? They keep selling and sellng and selling and not improving the quality or providing customer service. How is that not obvious to everyone?

And by the way I wrote to ask about any more software updates and shockingly, didn't get any reply.
