Ralob,
These kinds of comments are really annoying.
If you found "the software is not perfect" yet at the same time "current software works well enough" then why would a new "firmware is a disappointment" be cause for "collective outcry"?????? Does that imply that the current software is a "disappointment" as well even though it "works well enough"? Does it mean that you expected an update sooner that would make this software/device almost perfect?
Sounds to me you and the minority have very high expectations. You should simply forget about Cybook and look at iRex Iliad and other more expensive devices. You only get so much for the money you pay. A perfect device having perfect software costs. Cybook *NEVER* had such goals. Like most other eReader makers they made certain compromises. Software clearly took the back seat as they pushed hardware design to get the device out sooner.
Frankly there are times when I wait for version 1.3 or even 2 of something new to let others deal with the initial problems. You want to see problems and hassles of a brand new tek, just go look at iRobot cleaner bots. Some problems actually reappeared in a newer gen.
The bottom line is pay more money for a higher end device that will meet all you expectation, or wait for Cybook V3 that should have 99% of the issues resolved by then. You simply won't get a problem free V1 device for cheap.
