I mean waiting for covers? Really? There are lots of companies that could make those covers.

While I understand that Bookeen sells to the highest bidders, it pisses me off that they lie to the customers that actually want the product enough to wait months for it.

As far as I know, only two companies *actually* make softcovers for the Cybook - the one Cybook hired and M-Edge.

I don't think Bookeen's been lying. I think that their JIT production method is a bit flawed.
