I've had a nice reply from Bookeen Support.
They currently have no plans for .lit support, which isn't really surprising.
They do say that some of the features we want "should shortly be available", specifically:
* Battery life on reading pages
* Easily read while charging
* Goto Page... for library view
* Sort by Author option
* Folder display in library
* PDF reflow
If we get just the first three I'll be very happy, especially the third which will make large libraries usable even if we don't see Folder Display.
The two "hard" items on the wishlist would be great.
Of course, we have no idea how long "shortly" will be. But perhaps we can guess.
CyBook Gen 3 released in October 2007
firmware 538 was in late December 2007
firmware 685 was released on 7 May 2008
firmware 708 was released on 25 June 2008
firmware 796 was released on 5 September 2008
Ignoring the 708 release, which was mostly just to fix a power consumption problem in 685, we have roughly
3 months
4 months
4 months
between releases.
So perhaps the next firmware release will happen in December?
