Maybe there is an other problem, like the 802 not being in a format
that we can use.
Bookeen probably have diffrents way to flash than we do.

Anyway, they probably had a reason , whatever that reason might be.

Yes, it has been reported fixed - with the new version installing the fonts that are not embedded in the pdf (what caused blank pages) solves the issue.

From context, branches. Possibly environments.

E.g.

"After the 1.0 release we created a new branch for the 2.0 version, so that we could do minor bug fixes on the 1.0 branch."

Yeah, I thought of 'environments' later. Branches is a good one though.

Thanks.

One for the old firmware which is used for bug fixing (and of course once in a while this enhanced old firmware will be put on the new cybooks), and another one on which the new firmware-release is made.
That is so. How does that address the facts, that old firmware has not been updated and released for over half a year now, and enhanced firmware continues to be released on new Cybooks. Your words seem to mean that you agree with me on the matter.

Hmmm, yes and no. I do agree that it would have been better service toward the customers to release an update of the ' old' firmware say once a month. But I can understand that something like that is too much trouble for such a small firm.

We should make a bet on whether the new firmware will come out next week or will be postponed. I'm betting on: it will come out next week.

I don't know how to enable betting, but there is now a poll you can use to express your opinion.

It's open until the end of March or so.

Actually, I would hope so as well, a year ago. But I bought Cybook 18 months ago, choosing it over Sony Reader because it was to have folders in next firmware version, which was to be released within a month. Also it advertized ability to display Polish language in html files, if only the TTF fonts with correct characters are installed. It does neither, and Polish language support isn't even in the future plans. I don't believe in any promises of Bookeen anymore.

I bought my Gen3 on the first day that it was available to order. I certainly don't remember folders ever being "promised within a month".

So they're keeping it from me for some months because they don't consider it an update worth releasing?

They promised it in the next version - which was promised within a month. Only makes them break two promises instead of one
