Does anyone here at MR actually know or have a number how large Bookeen as a company is? Are we talking about 10 employees, 20, 50?

Or are we talking about two sales manager who handle all the incoming orders with no inhouse programmer at hand?

I own a small eBook publishing house with some freelancing staff at hand.
I've known my programmer for years personally, so I can talk to him in a non-formal way. I usually send him a mail with some new features I'd like to add to my store and ask him IF they are possibly and HOW LONG they will take.

The last request for some minor changes I did in early November, which has been finished by him now in mid March. Of course I could look around for some other programmer, but the shop software is tailor-made to my needs so any new programmer would take weeks or months to fully understand the code.
And my programmer does his job for an affordable price, so why ditch him?

I wouldn't wonder if it's the same around at Bookeen. I think they would love to do more - if only they had the resources ...
