Rarely do I reply to a post, I usually lurk, but I feel just this once...I can make a change and step out of my cave...
Firstly, I have no problems with the boot times, and other people shouldn't either, If you have a cell phone, i have a challenge for you, turn it off...now, turn it back on and time how long it takes to start up..now as soon as you get the chance, go into messages, scroll down and select the third message...now, how long did that take?
Nokia 5310 : 29 seconds
HTC S620 : 56 seconds
ZuneHD : 27 seconds (tested using 3rd album)
Feel free to post your own results...
Now, what does this tell me? Time to test the cybook?
cybook : 29 seconds.....
I'll edit in the space filled onmy cybook and the number of items on it afterwords !
Cybook itself, 24.8MB used - 79 files 7 folders
SD Card, 911MB - 142 files 8 folders
Now i know what people may be thinking, "but, those are devices intended to be left switched on, a cybook isn't" well, yes, that could be said, but my cybook also outlasts all of them when left on, with a full charge cycle...wether you choose to turn it off, well, that's up to you, but if you also choose to turn of every one of your other devices, then you will encounter the same problems (and i'm not talking about crappy standby! I mean proper Cold booting all of your devices...)
Anyway, I'm leaving this up to everyone, the devices aren't defective ( a small number may be, but that's the same for every device, RROD anyone?)
and about queues, well, personally, I know how much of a pain in the ass it is when there I am just walking along and BAM! there's a Queue, they just jump out at me~ Does anyone else have this problem? well, I don't have ADHD, so I don't need to read, and to be honest In my opinion unless it's a disneyland/comicon/TGS queue...I don't see how you have the time to read in them...
FOR THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY POST
people have said i've been a bit harsh with you, but hell, you were MORE than extremely harsh with bookeen, stating that their devices are defect/defective, you know, that's the kind of bad publicity people don't need to give for a small issue, i work in an electronics or phone store, praise the positives, everything will have a negative, if you keep showing people the negatives, well, they'll never buy it for example:
When selling a blackberry, you do not say to the customer - oh but it takes FOREVER to start up, it's SO~~ inconvenient, Man, if only you had a nokia 5310 ! that thing'd start up in under 30 seconds man !!!
In fact, if anyone uses that technique to sell it or a nokia 5310 in store, i'll reccomend to my manager that they need to be promoted...On the other hand, as much as i may personally dislike blackberries, hell, they take a while to start up but the battery life is awesome !
And apologies for being harsh I guess, cause i'm not a total B*******
