My point is that customers shouldn't have to blame or look for answers anywhere. I don't care where the problem comes from. Fix it! Make it work! Don't come to me explaining why it doesn't. Or I guess I should just go to Amazon then since they have the answer to how to make it work? (incidentally this is probably will be the case for my next device)

DRM too? Is it even legal to shift format and take out DRM? Anyway, I know about Calibre, although why I as a customer should jump through hoops to make something work is beyond me. Seriously only in a market where there is no competition can you expect customers to jump through hoops and find their own sollutions from other companies that fix the problems of the company that i paid money to.
The competition seems to have arrived in Europe, and we'll see how long the "well, it's not our fault, and other companies have the means to fix something we can't fix" answer will hold up.

And them delaying firmware over and over again because they want it to be "perfect". But prefect is not compatible with computing.

PERFECT?!?! lol, now you take this discussion into absurdo-world. The real reason for the abysmal way they deal with firmware updates is their perfectionism?
That is as bad as that old joke about soliciting for a job.
Job interviewer: "oh, what would you say is you weakness concerning this job?"
answer: "well, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I try to do my work perfectly."
Seriously, don't expect me to buy into that "Bookeen are perfectionists" bullshit. Why then have none of their firmware updates EVER been perfect?

I'm saying they should deliver on what they promise. "Soon" (and not again in the french meaning of "soon")
perfectionists...
