As e-books are getting more and more attention and Europe's market is not developing strong players like B&N (Nook, love that device) or Amazon (Kindle) the few new initiatives in Europe are all focussing on ePub.
So I cant buy any books / subscribe to newspapers unless my device gets a (minor) software update.

I think it's rediculous to be forced to spend another E 250 just to get new software, as I have never spent that much money for software-updates
On the other hand - lots of new developments on the eReader-devices lately so it's probably better should I be a little patience and wait for the hands-on-experiences on these new devices the next 6 months

So I'll just finish the 70 books I already have on my CyBook Gen 3 untill that urge to get recent books on my eReader becomes too great. Till then the Gen3 IS working fine.
