Ortep,
as you can see most people here are not disappointed of the device it self but of Bookeen's lack of communication or inability to update and upgrade.
On their "community" page they are still linking to NAEB, which went out of business nearly a year ago, and their board's been dead since then. There was neither a press release about the introduction of the Opus on the "press" page or in any of both Blogs. The presentation of the new firmware was a month ago at the MobilRead meeting. And no (news) update whatsoever.
It's just this "what the ...?" feeling one tends to get. I won't buy the Opus, not because of the device but because of the company. And that's bad publicity as it can get.
