No, when I turn on the device it freezes within 3 seconds. No buttons give any reaction when I press them separately. But I can do reboots from maintenance mode (hold powerbutton + left and right page flip button). I found out that as long as I kept flipping pages - or kept going in and out of the menus immediately after a restart it would not freeze until I stopped keeping it "busy". So after a restart, I dashed to activate the wifi and bingo, it works. Of course when the battery is empty, the wifi stops and I also have to do a reboot. That's why I have to keep the Odyssey on and charged continuously.
I already sent it back to Bookeen for replacement, they sent the same one back to me and it froze again within 3 days. When I contacted them they said there was nothing wrong with it - even though I sent it to them as good as bricked. After this, I asked for a refund but they refused this, they wanted me to send it back to them at my expense - again - so they could have another look. Which I refused to pay for. This is not the end of my dealings with them - or Cultura shop, where I bought it - but it would take way too long to explain it here.
Let's say that I wish I didn't love the folder view this much or I would not spend one more penny on this company. But sadly I do, so if the new Odyssey is better and fits the cover/casing I'd buy it.
