Ah ah !
Great.
Tanks for the info

Terisa de morgan · 06-22-2010, 11:36 AM

Yes! Thank you very much.

Will this upgrade make much of a difference to a Gen3 400MHz from 2009? I haven't found any bugs since the last upgrade - should I download this one?

Instant reading is by itself is worth is update.

So when you switch it off, not into 'sleep mode' but really switch it off, when you switch it back on it goes directly to the last page?

Yes. That's the point.
No more long start up, or accidantal page turning because you left the cybook on in your bag.
I still did yesterday, forgetting I had a sleep mode.

This update offers nothing for Gen 3 (v2) users, right?

I've only done one firmware update in all that time and it didn't seem to change anything of note.

This is good tiing I have just ordered a second Gen 3 for my Dad so we have 2 of these and a Sony 505 my Mum uses, I convinced the Gen 3 was better than the Sony when my brother was to get my Dad one, i wonder if the new one will come with the new firmware?

If not, updating it is easy

JanG · 06-22-2010, 03:46 PM

Have to say, I do like the 'screen savers' on sleep mode. Don't know if I've seen them all yet, but I do like the ones I have seen.

Terisa de morgan · 06-22-2010, 05:09 PM

Well, I would like more if I could change them

It is the same I have. I'm not gonna upgrade, there is no reason.

My V2 is working now and working fine. The 'new' features are only for the 'new' readers.

Well, I guess we have nothing to complain we can still read on it
