It looks like firmware 2.0 is in the process of coming online too!

I'd forgo buying anything from Bookeen. If they can botch an entire website then think of what they can do with firmware. All it would have taken to find the website issue is test it in Firefox.

JSWolf, what did bookeen do to you to deserve sush a harted? You don't even own a Cybook !!
Firefox issue ? Weird. At work we get yelled at for not testing our stuff with IE. . Edit : na, no go with IE either. They are probably working on fixing the mess. And updating on saturday night is a weird choise indead. Last edited by EowynCarter; 07-26-2009 at 03:09 AM. |

The link was up and running when Barcey first posted it. I was reading the specs on the Opus.

And as we all know, the very same people who work on a website are also the same people who write firmware, manufacture the product, do all customer service, manage the company's finances, etc etc. |

To be honest, I am also a bit disappointed with bookeen by now. I do get the feeling that they have insuficient staff for their ambitions.
While I would have bought the opus immidiately even a month ago, by now their customer support did manage to put me off quite a bit. It is now more than a month that they have had my reader and not a single answered mail since then... cheers, kaas |
