I'm looking for a new reader for a few reason. First of all I hate the button arrangement on they Cybook and have from the day I got it. Second I consider the Cybook to be a little to fragile, I've already had one screen "shatter" spontaneously and third it doesn't work when the temps get close to freezing. Waiting for the bus on a cold winter day I can read for about 10 minutes and then the unit will stop responding.
I also never said I was looking for a new reader for folder support, I said I'd upgrade the firmware if Bookeen ever got around to releasing a firmware with folder support so I'm not sure what you think is "stupid".
As for why I'll never purchase another product from Bookeen. It's because I have absolutely no faith in them, in my opinion, to properly support their existing customer base or hardware. It is painfully obvious that the reason we didn't get a firmware update earlier is because they shifted resources to the Opus. That is their decision to make and maybe it even makes business sense in the long term but they pretty much burnt the bridge behind them with a lot of their existing base.

And it would be stupid to get a new reader just for folders now as the cybook will be updated for that.
Unless you have other reason for a change, don't waste you money 
And once again "we will" , is to take "as things are now, that's what we want to do, and how we expect thing to go" , not a "we promise".
Don't take any word from any company as granted unless it's actually done. Who know what can go wrong. |
