Yes so far, the Cybook has found every word.

Didn't you read the rest of my reply? The build that you are referring to is not a formal update. I imagine once a formal update is released, Bookeen will notify its customers of its availabily and provide documentation that advises us as to the items that have been fixed and of any enhancements - that's generally how it works....

Again, this has not been my issue, and so I can only point you to the thread where it has been discussed ad nauseum. I don't think a developer should have spam filters set up so that legitimate customer emails are being diverted there, but it has happened to me with other vendors and developers, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the case with Bookeen.

This could be said for many developers and vendors. But I think you are being a bit petty.

I don't think I am being overly sympathic to Bookeen. They could most certainly provide better information to their customers...and some of their time estimates have slipped, but I don't understand why you are bashing them so harshly. The Cybook does for me, exactly what I want it to do. Everything else, like dictionary lookup, is gravy to me. Perhaps we just have a difference in perspectives...my perspective seems to be more "the glass is half full" and your perspective seems to be more "the glass is half empty."
