Wow, don't know what to make of that. Do you read txt, html or large, scanned pdfs? On those formats (at least the latter two) i would crash every day. reset worked well enough to not make it a deal breaker but...

I can't use a highlighter or postits to take notes on it (even though that brings up funny images in my head), so I use bookmarks (which also cause crashes)

that is interesting, I also don't know what to make of that. I've assumed that newer Cybook firmware is better cybook firmware. Unless you are hinting at other projects. As for openinkpot, rom what i've seen, it isn't at a point where I could get it on the Cybook without knowing what I'm doing and without risking breaking it, and there isn't a strong community of alternative-firmware Cybook users, so I'd be on my own. I'd be happy to be shown otherwise.
