It's not like we're all sitting here with useless devices waiting for Bookeen to fix em.

Are you sure about it?
You know, after reading this forum for more than one year I grew to be a bit sceptical about some things.
For example:
HarryT was all over the moon about CyBook Gen3 dictionary support and how wonderful and useful thing it is and how cool and what a major drawback it is on a part of Sony not to support dictionaries.
Guess what I learned just a week ago in one of his comments? That until recently it had a small bug, really almost negligible. Nothing really serious, or to worry about - CyBook Gen3 would lock up after 3-4 word lookups in a dictionary.
So, IMHO polishing bugs is a lot more important than adding new features, although it is a lot better not to have bugs at all.
