And if you translate "we plan to" as "we promise to", sorry to say it, that's you problem, not bookeen's.

In the advertisment they did not say that HTML files will more often than not crash your reader so it was a bit hard to make an informed decision. The reduction of battery time in later firmwares was also not advertised and you did not get the option to choose certain bug fixes but keep battery time when upgrading to a later firmware.

tompe which type of Gen3 do you have ? a 200Mhz or a 400Mhz one ? Which version of the firmware do you have?

A modern, well-designed browser crashes extremely rarely. When it does, it's not generally due to bad HTML, but rather other associated features or plugins (javascript, flash or the like). Things were different in the earlier days, yes.

Yeah,but the the gen 3 is not a browser, it's a e-reader....

I expect it to read books in HTML. It crashes on them. It doesn't follow links, it doesn't display html images. If that was clearly indicated in feature list, I wouldn't blame Bookeen. They put together features list, they didn't clearly indicate what the device does, and what it won't do.

I have firmware 802 and a 512M Cybook which probably is 200MHz.

try menu / about, you should see the processor frequency.

No, not with that version of the firmware.

The way to tell is to look at the serial number on the back of the device. If it starts with "EB100" it's a 200MHz device; if it starts "EB600" it's the 400MHz. I'm pretty certain that yours is the 200MHz, Tommy.

and I'm quite willing to pay.

Thanks John
