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?

You find the type of post I made annoying? Guess I better cry myself to sleep tonight.
I meant that the whole idea that the software being "beta" is not accurate in my opinion. It is usable, has no show-stopping bugs, and is reasonably stable (for me). And if you read my statement before, you will obviously see that I said there is room for improvement. It is what I would call "average". The CyBook is still somewhat new to the market, so I would not call the current firmware a "disappointment" as it was released some time ago. I feel it does need to be updated.
And no, firmware updates will never make the device perfect. No device is perfect regardless of how much money you spend.
As for the "outcry". I will be mad if folder support is not added when it is clearly important to most users. It is not imperative for the software to work, but it would make things so much easier. I will not return my device if it is not fixed this week, but I will question Bookeen as to whether or not there is an ETA for it.
And yes, I expected an update sooner.
