Your timings are not realist. Modifing a website does not generally take 15minutes even for a simple modification, (I speak about a professional website, not an amateur one) you need to test if you didn't break something, etc...
You've taken a look at Bookeen's web site lately, the last year or so? Sorry, ain't top notch, state of the art web design, especially as soon as you go past the front page. Quite simple coding, some css. Hard to break that kinda easy layout. And how do you break something by simply replacing text, as, say, a version number???

And updating news? You need to write it, approve it internally etc.. I don't think it will take 10min, but maybe few hours or even days?
As you quoted me correctly, "updating". I didn't say anything about writing and approving. But, true, if there's nothing to upload you don't have to write any news about it.

And 1 minutes to upload, oh yes, if you have something to upload, making a firmware that will run and didn't brick 99% of the cybook on the wild does not take 1 minute...
So the version shown to the MobileRead people at the Paris meeting was in a state of possible bricking 99% of the Gen3 devices being present?
My respect, Bookeen, that would be quite a bold deed. Showing up at a meeting with such a defective firmware, my ... yes, you're right, I wouldn't want my customers to use the same firmware I offered to those poor, demanding MR souls.

What was I thinking?
