No, I do not believe PDF users have "forfeited" their rights by buying a Cybook; I'm just realistic enough and honest enough to admit - despite being a corporate officer of a company which sells them - that the Cybook Gen3 is not the best platform for reading PDFs nor does it appear that will improve for a while.

(And I have to ask, should a customer purchase from someone who cannot speak bad about the flaws in a product, or from someone who is honest about those flaws?)

Derek,
When you suggested to buy 600$ in software to solve the PDF problem, did it occure to you that I could probably buy a better eBook reader for that amount of money? Or for that matter I could take a plane to France and go tell Bookeen exactly what I think of their device in person ! An hour ago the latter would have definately carried away my preference. But I did manage to get my hands on the old firmware (Thanks ProfJuli !) and downgraded my device and can now read the PDF's I've always been able to read.
