Hi
I got my Cybook Gen3 yesterday and it says it's version 1.1 build 787.

I've looked at the upgraded firmware 1.2 build 796 and can't see anything to get excited about so don't propose to update it. Would those with more experience say I should update due to things they've found by actually using the thing, or agree that I can safely leave well alone?

And secondly, what font/size combination do the over-50 regular Gen3 users find suits them best?
I'm obviously going to try a few, but find it's always best to look first at what others have found though experience
Currently, of the installed fonts I only find Verdana readable, and have that set at the fifth size from the top (i.e. fifth smallest) and bold.
I'm keen to get as much on a page as possible while making it easy on the eye.
