People can be "quite happy" with beta software as well. But when people are this excited about a new firmware, one can only wonder what exactly was wrong with the older one. As I said, I ordered one, and am planning to be very happy with it.
Having to upgrade software is one thing. But needing to upgrade hardware people paid 350 euros for is another. Obviously the first customers should have gotten this firmware to begin with. Actually the first customers should have gotten the firmware that will give us proper use of folders.
Most of us are just early adopters who don't mind to upgrade firmware on hardware or don't mind the occassional bug. As such we're cutting the Cybook a lot of slack. Also the other ereaders have problems of their own. As such I think the Cybook still is the best choice for most people wanting an ereader.
Anyway, I'll drop the negativity and share in the joy of anticipating the swift release of and upgrade to our machines. Now our Cybooks will be even better!
Hehe that doesn't sound very convincing, does it? But I genuinely am happy that they're still working on bettering the Cybook.
