I would applaud to any company for such a straightforward honesty - and ask myself at the same time if they are in their right senses.
The "technical difficulties - please stand by" screen since early television days also works in the online world. Nobody has to know what doesn't work out. Just tell people that you are aware of the issue (not: the problem) and are working on it.

And if somebody asks you when the improvement (never: the bug fixing) will be out, answer "soon". If this is quite definitely about to happen, offer a date. But never ever sooner.

As much as it bugs me - the way Bookeen behaves is the only one I could advise.
K-Thom, thanks for putting into words what I would like to have said !
I'm not enough confident in my english to try to explain my views on this subject, and I'm glad one post finally expressed my thoughts !
