"Back to Library" autoselected...

[Gaurnim]

I also do confirm that I never had such a behaviour on my Cybook (build 796).
I do have to press the center button in order to go back to the library.

I've tried it again just before writing this message, even at different speeds, and the only difference I get is that the Up keypress is not detected when I do it too fast.
The only difference with the situation described is that the Cybook had just been started.

I guess we'll have to wait for some data from Bookeen, though maybe delphidb96's experience could be an interesting addition to the information sent to Bookeen by tompe.

I'm in the Gaurnim/HarryT camp. Can't reproduce Dereks behavior in any way, and with 2 hours of reading a day I think of myself as a moderate user.

I'm not kidding when I say that it's literally never happened to me, and although the time I spend reading isn't at your level, I do spend a couple of hours a day reading, so my Gen3 gets a good "workout".

Harry,

Ummm... Not sure I can describe the way I press the controls on my Cybook, but I'll give it a go... When I'm in 'reading the next page' mode, I use the corner of my thumb, where the thumbnail meets the flesh at the side, to 'hook' onto the bottom edge of the navigation control (henceforth the D-Pad). That way I just have to 'click' down on the D-Pad to go to the next page. If I want to access the Contextual Menu, I lift my thumb away from the bottom edge of the D-Pad, move it to the central button and press down until it 'clicks' and then release.

Now if I attempt to manipulate the D-Pad, while the green light is glowing showing that it's still processing the 'bring up the C-Menu' stuff - even if the C-Menu is showing - the Cybook will, instead of moving up and down the C-Menu, immediately fire off the menu choice that the C-Menu has positioned the cursor at.

If I wait until the LED stops glowing green, then I can press the D-Pad buttons to move up and down the C-Menu. But I must wait until the LED stops glowing before I can press the central button to select a menu choice or the C-Menu implements the last menu choice *prior* to the one I wanted.

*UNLESS* I am on the Back to Library menu choice! In which case I get the Cybook to exit the ebook in question and return to the Library. *BUT*! It then immediately acts as if I had clicked to open the ebook I just exited!

Okay. Got that?

And for all you slackers, zoners and pikers out there, *I* consider 2 hours of continuous reading to be a 'quick break'. "Moderate" use to me is 4-5 hours and "Normal" is 8-9 hours in a session.

What can I say? I'm disabled, don't work and don't have many physical hobbies to keep me busy.

It is strange. I haven't experienced it, either.

I have not seen it since I wrote about it so for me it is definitely an intermittent problem.
