On the subject of Cybook software being beta when released:
I got my Cybok in November, in first batch. It has the earliest released 1.0 software. I installed two dictionaries on it, and they work fine, finding everything that's in them. It never crashed for me without reason, and I read about a book a day. It crashed a few times when I tried to open PDFs with big images inside, that's all. I never had filesystem corruption either, and I mounted both internal Cybook space and SD card through Cybook on Win XP and Mac. I didn't update to newer firmware as that might make something actually start crashing for me...
So it's not like the "beta" is crashing for everyone - maybe it just seems so because the people who have problems with it post here. And it may be just a small number of people out of those 10 thousand who have problems.
