Completely agree with this comment. Cybook Gen3 sucks when it comes to PDF and the main reason is not that its screen is so small.. it's something you can live with provided you have good eye-sight. No, the reason is that a substantial number of PDF files simply give a blank screen when opened, or crash the device.
Gen3 also sucks when it comes to mp3 play, looking at pictures, etc. Really.. I believe the only thing it is more or less good at is reading mobipocket books.
Also, Bookeen is fickle when it comes to answering their email, some people get responses in 10 minutes, others don't ever get an answer. Their firmware upgrades have proven to be downgrades more than upgrades so don't expect any improvement towards the future either.
