I really like my Cybook.
None the less their are some areas of impovement.
As for too high expectations, I think if you deliver a device with a 2GB SD Card people will expect a feature that lets you handle such a card full of eBooks and having a feature "goto page..." where you have to enter a page number, without displaying a page number when reading a book ist not a very smart combination.

I'm also one of those users who experienced the bookmark bug. This problem is solved since I use a different SD Card.

Of course I'm looking forward to the new firmware, not because I can't live with the current version, but because I think it might transform a good gadget into a great one.

Currently I use my Cybook to read novels. It's not a big issue to page through my library after having finished reading a whole novel, even with several hundred eBooks on my SD-Card. But with some kind of efficient library management (folders/goto page), I would also add some reference documentations to my library, which I don't read from start to finish but to look up certain issues from time to time. Therefore such a feature would enhance the usefulness of the cybook for me.
