I've upgraded to the new 2.0 FW and I have to say I'm very pleased. Registering the device with ADE worked seamlessly and I was able to transfer all my "digital editions" to the Cybook. I was particularly pleased that my older Adobe DRMed books can also now be read on my Cybook; these are books I bought ~8 years ago with Adobe Reader v6 IIRC.

I've read three complete books and have not had a single crash, whereas with the previous version the Cybook would freeze up quite frequently. The three books I read were DRMed ePub, converted PDB and converted PRC respectively.

I don't really miss the dictionary as my iPhone now has good quality dictionaries (Chambers and SOED). The one thing I really miss is bookmarks.

Page turning is indeed faster, not so sure about boot time. Being able to quickly skip forward is very useful for me because I often switch to reading the same book on the iPhone then switch back - wish the Cybook had "whispersync"...
