The CyBook delivers in that respect but it is SO frustrating!
In no particular order:
1. It freezes up and reverts back to the splash screen in the middle of reading something.
2. The library is a pain to use. After reaching the last page it doesn't "wrap around" to page 1, you have to go back page by page. Which leads me to...

Against freezing you should:
- Only use MOBI/PRC files (you can convert all formats with MobiReader software on your PC).
- Always turn off your reader manually (no Auto-Off).
- Don't use pre-installed fonts (especially Verdana), but free available ones - lots of recomendations here in the forums.
- Just use books from the internal memory and don't use more then 20-30 books (bootup will be much faster).
- Always safely remove your reader from USB (either with Windows functions or special tools)
- Keep your batteries charged well (don't go below 30%, some even say 50).
Hopefully a couple of these'll be fixed in the next FW version (which is coming soon...).
You can easily go to page 1 by either "start reading" or "go to page..." options in the menu that comes up when you press the front-button while reading.
BTW: You must look at the bright spots of the CyBook - 12 different font sizes, real italic and bold fonts, dictionary search, justification...
