It's not really that. It's more a case that I've been reading eBooks for an awfully long time (some 20-odd years) and I like to focus on the positive things that each new generation of device brings with it. EVERY device has bugs; anyone who's ever written software knows that there's no such thing as "bug free" software, and Bookeen seem to be pretty proactive when it comes to fixing reported bugs.

When you compare the book readers we have today to what was available 10, or even 5, years ago, it's obvious just how far we've come and just how much better these device are than those were. Be aware of the bugs, sure, but concentrating on trivial faults and making them out to be HUGE, show-stopping "issues" just seems to me to be a rather "negative" outlook on life. Enjoy the device for what it CAN do, rather than moan about what it CAN'T.

That's my philosophy of life, anyway.
