I really wish I understood the ebook development environment. From the stuff that I'm familiar with, I'd predict that folders could be put together in a few days. Similarly with other features. I'd expect just one or two programmers could turn out a steady stream of enhancements.
A rolling stream of features would create ongoing buz. Since no one seems to take this approach, I assume that there is more than meets the eye here. I wonder what it is.

It seems to me that Bebook takes this approach a bit.
A big part of the problem is that people would complain if the firmware broke often. I am hoping that .txtr will take the approach you describe. If they have an open platform then user can add new functionality and they get the buzz. The official firmware can be updated when needed. But this requires an open platform and Cybook does not have that.
