Okay, so here's the details of my disappointment:

I downloaded the two versions of Build 796, the fmt version available at the wiki of this forum, and the one that came directly from Bookeen through http://www.bookeen.com/support/ebook-firmware.aspx

I tried each. Put one on the SD card, placed it in, switched on, then clicked the button for a long time. It still hanged. I put the other one, repeated the proces. It still hanged.

My understanding of this is that it hangs up somewhere before anything really happens on the device.

I understand the next step is to contact Bookeen. I will.

But does anyone suggest anything else I should try before that?

Thanks all.

PS, for the person who asked. I use Ubuntu, the Cybook Gen3 was quite happy with it.
