3. Random rebooting.
4. Random hanging ( requiring hardware reset )
5. Library view is hopeless and slow, really need a treeview type view.
6. Page turning sometimes "hangs" with green light on, need to turn page again.
7. Corruption of memory card has happened twice and I am very carefull about unmounting drives.
8. Access to storage from OSX is extremely slow.
Apart from all this I actually really love the thing, I just really wish it worked better.
Are all readers this buggy?

Sigh... I'm not having any of these problems. What I'm noticing in the past few weeks - since 'upgrading' to V1.1 Build 685 - is, increasing in frequency, the Cybook seems to want to NOT cleanly recognize a button push on the front, navigation, control. This *MOST* often happens when I'm in the menu, but it's also happening when I'm pressing the page-forward/page-backward buttons.
For example, if I press the down or right controls, I sometimes get a weird page-forward-followed-by-an-immediate-page-back - right back to the page I last finished. And when I'm in the menu, sometimes - even if I am VERY careful to press just the central button (and this most often happens when I'm on the "Back to Library" menu choice) - when I press the button, I get to the Library, but find myself re-entering the ebook I just closed.
However, I've also noticed that my Cybook (and I've only had the Cybook since mid-January) sometimes doesn't recognize I'm pressing the page-up or page-down control when the menu is showing. Doesn't even light up the LED.
This never happened under Build 538.
