Ah, well, hopefully, the "few weeks" will be the right for a change.
And i have to ask Godzil's question again. What to you to gain by doing this ? Think that will make the firmware comes sooner ?
Propaganda? I was very careful to state the exact truth of what has happened to me only: four months of "in a few weeks" and a lie on the Gen3 specification page before and after I spent my £250.

What do I gain? Not much, no one reads EBookForum posts, but Bookeen seems to put all their propaganda there. Just maybe Bookeen look at what I wrote. I can't see that they look here.

I tried very hard to pick a manufacturer who would wade through this 'Betamax-like' struggle of formats and licensing, and I clearly picked wrong.
I've been had. I hate being cheated. I even get annoyed at queue jumpers. I'm kicking myself for not looking closer at BeBook before I spent my money. Dictionary, schmictionary. This is an ex-parrot.

My only consolation would be a dozen or so Gen3's being sold on eBay for $50, in which case I would lose even more money, but gain some satisfaction.

I'm resigned to forking over another £200 or so to a different manufacturer, although I'm not sure quite who yet. If anyone wants my Gen3, they should check eBay over the next couple of months. I won't bother anyone here with the link. I will continue to follow Bookeen liars around the Net, in case anyone else might get sucked in.
