Nobody claims there are no bugs in the current version. Most actual Cybook users seem to be noth bothered by them too much.
On what basis do you state that 350E ought to pay for a product with zero bugs? There are far more expensive products with version 1.0 having as much and more problems. How about that Heathrow Terminal 5. How much was that? How many bugs?
I look at this as bugs/issues that can/will be solved by a simple software update at some point, as opposed to others that won't (hardware). I have more patience and tolerance for software issues since they'll be fixed at no cost and I don't have to spend more money on another version. I just don't see those as a big deal.
Regarding having zero bugs from day 1, I cannot think of a single company that does that. Maybe Google that has a very long beta stage so they actual V1 is really good. Or Linux and similar software with a long and slower dev process that doesn't rush to V1. Otherwise all software and hardware tends to rush to V1 and has a lot of problems. So in that regard Cybook is no worse.
