first reactions to my Cybook-for-a-week over here. just in french for the moment (sorry !) but tomorrow i'll make an english version, and also add some photos to show the comparison with my eb1150.
also some details of my conversation with Pauline from Bookeen. teaser : Pauline thinks apéros with Bookeen are a great idea, and we should do more. and, a new firmware is currently in developpment. |

Vertical software is written for a specific industry. In my groups case we have two verticals... one is designed for Property management... you know, keeping track of leases, renters, etc. The second vertical is construction for companies that build houses and such.
Horizontal software is generic enough for all industries. In our case this would be our Payroll/HR software... to keep track of employees, cut pay checks, etc. BOb |

I see your plan; Keep them answering questions all night, in order to distract them, then walk out with your CyBook, having them think that it was yours and not a loaner. Clever!

It simply isn't fair that this will be in Paris and I can't be there. The food, the museums, the jazz... sigh.

added to the list !! i'll send them to the thread here for info though, since i don't really feel qualified to explain that. i can just say there will be an MR contingent there, and they can get details here, right ? Quote:
1. come to the apéro. 2. come to the next apéro (there will be more, trust me) 3. organise your own apéro. 4. all of the above. |

As you mention, there will be more, and I believe Pauline from Bookeen thought more would be a good idea. Find out from the folks present how often they might be up for it, and plan future events accordingly. Quote:

Frankly, I agree. You don't want to scare them off. Although you could probably turn most of the specific questions into more general topics. instead of ten questions on navigation ask 1, Can you tell me anything about future plans for navigating the library? I'm sure additional questions will arise in the discussion naturally. BOB |
