Hi everyone.

I never thought I'd say this, but I am beginning to do not care.
I'll continue using my Cybook with prc files - it works fine, everytime. I'll enjoy till... a new generation of e-ink devices comes by: better contrast, faster, with diferent screen size options (I would prefer a 7 or 8' one - I would sacrifice portability over bigger pages, but this is just me....).

I still "like" Bookeen: they are a rather small company with at least one great product (Gen3).
But my next e-ink reader will come, most probably, from a big shark: Amazon ou Sony. If a small company can not give some kind of deferenciated treatment, than I prefer the big one's that can actually offer better prices...

I am sad for saying this, but let's face it: once the big players started to pay atention for e-reading, the other ones can only survive if they actually offer something diferent: better design, quality ou support.

And that is clearly not happening.
