Hi

I think the argument is not if a company should or should not charge for a thing… - upgraded firmware in this case -, as in this still, market society everyone can charge for anything.…

The question posed was, if I would pay for it, and my answer still is a big No!
And, if I would not get served in a way I think is acceptable… I just change to another company if needed.

More, in this case, my Cybook works perfectly well and mostly the way I want it to - I have reported it several times in the past - even if I have been one of the first who called for an upgrade immediately Sony did come out with the reflow pdf and epub upgrade to their 505 (July 2008), and now I even know I will not be having the same on the same machine - I will have to choose epub or mobipocket, and the pdf part will not reflow…

Finally if Bookeen will come out with an upgrade, any upgrade who permits the Cybook to work better, great, if it has functionalities that serve others better even if I do not need/care for them, even better, if the bloody thing just comes out more then a year after the last one (hell it did pass 10 months already!) I can live with it, even if I find it… well… my adjectives will be not proper to put here…

But pay for it, I will not!

Best regards,
