Seems Bookeen have turned a page, if you excuse the awful pun.

I'll grant you the point, although my big, fat, clumsy fingers simply love the navigation control.

I think this new blog post is very promising. It sounds like we'll be getting an update that includes more than just bug fixes. The hint provided is ambiguous enough to keep us guessing and provides good fodder for speculation....so much more fiun than the negative threads that went on and on about the lateness of the update and nonresponsiveness of Bookeen. It seems that lurkers from Bookeen are here.

...which were no fun at all, if you ask me...

Hmmmm....what is the page number? And what is the total number of pages? If that is not known we don't know were we are

Hi

About this button... I think they corrected responsivness of this button. Sometimes when pressed and relased rapidly doesn't turn a page.

Yesterday I got response from Bookeen about issues, that firmware upgrade will be available "this month".

As the cook said, "It'll be ready when it's ready." If we get folders and bug fixes and improved HTML file handling (which is tied to folders), that'll really put the heat on Sony's firmware. To me, right now, the Cybook and the PRS505 are about the same in firmware (each has strengths and weaknesses that to me average out even). I'm hoping that soon Bookeen raises the bar...

But they worked

This is clearly a victory for sustained whinging

for heaven's sake, why didn't you say so if you just wanted a little grease ? i'll have a few vats of the stuff shipped to you, if it'll keep the whinging down.

You should put that stuff in your desil tank. (All people in Europe drive desils yes?)
