I got an email from Bookeen back in October saying that of my wish list, the following would be in the next firmware release:

* Battery life shown on book pages
* Easily read while charging
* Goto Page... for library view
* Sort by Author option

* Folder display in library
* PDF reflow

Hopefully we'll see it sometime in January, since it didn't make it for my guess of December.

Last September, Bookeen promised "new directory view", "improved Mobipocket, HTML and TXT support" and "new languages".

Many (too many...) months have passed since.

What can we realistically expect now?

The new directory view is a must (almost every critic points that), so I think Bookeen will finally make it happen.

But what about other improvements (besides the improved stability)?

What about other formats (epub?...)
What about pages numbering (is it really impossible to implement?)...

I truly believe a serious firmware upgrade (a, say, 2.0 version) could put the Cybook ahead of any other ebook reader. It seems, however, that Bookeen as been unable to release it. Can we expect it now?

Regards!
