In what way do you believe that "the software is crap", by the way? What problems have you found with it?

Just a little pressure = I put it on the back of a wide couch, and I touched it a little with my back. Since it was upside I barely touched the thing
I weight 60 kg, I'm pretty thin... not to mention I knew it was there so I did not lean completely on it. Plus, it was in its rigid case.
(i'm not going into details about why I did this
... well, ok..., I was playing with my baby niece. The cybook was on the table where the kid was, and I put it on the couch behind my back to avoid the danger... but guess what...
)
My cybook didn't break alone. I guess i put the right pressure on the right place to break it... But I still think I treated it like it was made of glass... actually, a piece of fine glass wouldn't had broken
About the software... I mainly manage pdfs. Well, you just have to try a few I you don't know why it is crap. Not only the lack of zoom witch make unreadable the pdf, but also how you move along the pages... little by little instead of whole pages, so you have to press several times. Also If you press by accident 1 more time, it goes to the next page and when you go back you go to the top of the page...
Also, the way it manage collection of images (to read a comic for example) is a pain to use. And the way it manages the collection of books, and the way you move along the menus...
Its ok if you only read one book and its in its proper mobi format or whatever its called. I don't use it to read novels... but lot of stuff that comes to me in several formats and it would be a pain to read in the computer screen...
I updated the software till it broke, but instead of updating it looked like a downgrade from my pov

I own a different device and am very happy with it, but I would also like to own a Cybook Gen3 -- I still want one.
On a lighter note, I want to welcome you to MobileRead. There are many people here who will give you helpful comments and advice.
Again, I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune with your Reader.
