Surely we can expect that there has been something to 'stop' the release on Monday (18th My 2009). One HAS to accept that, perhaps, an unforeseen bug, or doubt about the software has surfaced.
Do you want them to rush out a firmware update that is 'dodgy' just to placate us ? - better safe than sorry.
**Yes, they are poor communicators; but honestly they are not the worst I've come across...and they haven't "taken the money and run" like at least one company I could mention.....
And yes, Jon, I would buy another Cybook - my current one does what I want - despite the wish list of what would be 'nice' to have. It is reliable and I, personally, haven't found any similar device that has made me change my opinion of what is a good product.

I must remind you, though, that all that was announced for last Monday was a list of improvements, at least that's what you told us. No word of a release date.
And I would be hard-pressed to come up with a plausible explanation for what could go so wrong that I cannot type a list with a couple of improvements within in a week.
Especially when they botched every single date so far, I would expect a little more care when announcing yet another date and that they would really try to meet it this time, especially when it's as simple as a publishing a list they must already have somewhere on their blog.
