I was waiting for about 3 weeks to hear back from support on my ticket, which happened to be the time CES was going on. Not a stretch to believe that things slow down during a trade show. Considering I use to run logistics for an electronics trade-show and the vendors head offices often become a graveyard. When key figures in management are in the field decisions take longer to make. John I'm rationalizing why things are taking a little longer during this time.

The device has been out for over six months. Fix the problems.
I had absolutely no issues until upgrading past 1.9.9 to 1.9.14 & 1.9.16. Side load worked, taps were fine, everything worked. I sympathize with the developers of this great product because I develop embedded myself. I think the device is fantastic there are just some additional issues being caused by:

1) Bad eBooks, corrupted, or errors in ebooks CSS etc. (Used Calibre & Sigil to fix a few.)
2) Slow or incompatible microSD cards. (My lexar class 4 seems the most probematic, ADATA Class 10 seems to work best.)
3) Incompatible file names. (I've had to change about 6 book titles.)
4) Mac OS filling up my memory cards with index files from Spotlight Search.

all of which are extremely frustrating to the average user. I'm just going to be patient, all good things come with age.

So I cannot say all of my issues are a result of the hardware / firmware, some of them are resulting from the content I have been using.
