At one point in time I wondered about a next page button since the only alternative was the big four-way button on the right. Frankly, this would make a pretty poor next-page button if that was its intended design. However, if you made it re-mappable so that it could be assigned to any existing function, I would probably assign it as a next-page button.

The possibilities to use this button are endless ...
A randomizer Push it and the Cybook will jump to any page in any eBook! A fun for the whole family! A distress call Push the button to inform Bookeen that you're still waiting for the next §$%& firmware update, while connected via USB! A stress releaser Push it and a chillout music will fill the air while a screensaver with pictures of unimaginable beauty (im b&w and 4 greyscales) will appear! An exerciser Push it as often as you can to strenghten the muscles of your fingers. Supported by your local health care! A shape changer Push the button and experience the magic of your Cybook transforming into a Kindle, a PRS-505 or a brick (whatever you like)! |

Well.. Sony has proven that just because you don't have a delete button, does not mean you cannot delete your eBooks.

Yes, I don't get this quest for the delete button at all. Who needs to delete ebooks on the go?
On the other hand, the unused buttons (the volume buttons too) could be put to a much better use, e.g. lookup toggle, faster navigation, font size, bookmarking etc. |

Some people like to delete a book or short story when they have read it. It will speed up navigation if you can delete read items.

Ebooks you've finished reading could be conveniently deleted via a menu item. |

But failure to dedicate that button to a Delete File app or to implement such a function within the library management shows a distinct lack of 'professionalism' in my book. If not Delete, then, yes, put in some *other* form of functionality to that key. Derek |
