You're right. Jerry seems motivated, so I guess he should not be discouraged.
But remember the wish lists that were posted here and/or on Ectaco's website? These included hyperlinking and a lookup function to any of the full featured dictionaries that are available for sale. The prior Ectaco reps assured us that Ectaco would work on these things. Right now, we have no idea if any of these are included in the new updates.
I wonder if Jerry is aware of these wish lists. Working on them might really advance their sales since many people consider a comprehensive dictionary, for example, really essential and something that all their competitors have. More sales = more revenue and more ability to expand their staff, which I suspect may be one of their problems. I like this book reader so much, I would really like to see them succeed. I recommend the JBL to a lot of people, but you almost have to be a hacker to use it.
