I suspect it's more that extra features have been added, which cause more bugs that need to be fixed. I still hope for a firmware upgrade. I just fear it will be a bit of an anti-climax when it does arrive.
I don't want much from a firmware update. The main two things I want are
(1.) Much quicker start-up times when large numbers of books installed. The 'instant on' of the Kindle and the Sony put the CyBook Gen 3 to shame.
(2.) Much quicker navigation around the library.
In short, I want the new firmware to make it practical to keep my entire library ( circa 2000 ebooks) on the Cybook.
I fear that we won't get (1.)
