And it is...

Look, as I've pointed out over the last week, the engineering sample I received had version 0.91 beta while, even at the time I got it in the mail, Bookeen was using version 0.96. And that difference counts. For example, I will be able to actually *USE* the SD card slot with v0.96! Right now I *must* hook up the Cybook to get my ebooks onto it.

Also, under v0.91, and possibly even under 0.96 - I won't know until I get it installed, they've broken down the My Documents directory with folders for Text, My eBooks, Htm and Html. I understand that with the release of the finished firmware, all the ebooks will be in the My eBooks folder.

I also believe that we will be able to upload our own font families, but I'm not sure about that. I do know that there are currently six (6) font families installed on the Cybook. Makes it nice to not have to re-format the ebook to the font I want and then re-install.

As I work for NAEB and not Bookeen, I don't have the full access to the development process and can't really say which feature is coming, coming soon or coming real soon. Sorry.
