All I want right now is a Cybook that will keep my bookmarks, has improved navigation and file organization, handles PDF files better (tagging & reflowing would be excellent), and will let me read my library books. I hate to think Bookeen would lose focus on the Gen3 because they are starting to work on Gen4.

Why is WIFI such a big deal for these? This is a book reader, not a pocket pc, palm pilot, UMPC, tablet. I like the keep-it-simple-stupid principle....the more features that get added to a book reader, the more the focus and limited support gets spread over a bunch of non-core features. Get the primary function working well first.
