Bookeen has just released the Cybook Gen3 Firmware Upgrade Version 1.1 (Build 685). I have just downloaded it, and I have started installing it. Honestly I thought that there would be more improvements:

  • Improvement: new button management (faster and buffered key detection).
  • Improvement: new event management (previous versions could miss events).
  • Improvement: reduced power consumption.
  • Improvement: Table support in Mobipocket files.
  • Bug fix: large covers in PRC files.
  • Bug fix: Asian characters are now displayed properly in PRC files.
  • Bug fix: PDF viewer memory management (to be continued).
  • Bug fix: TrueType font detection (“Fonts” directory).
  • Bug fix: various user interface items (to be continued).
  • Bug fix: detection of MP3 playback frequencies.
  • New: in the “Library”, a lock symbol is visible when a read-only SD card is inserted.

But never the less, I am looking forward to trying it out and I am of course looking forward to future updates:

  • New directory view.
  • Improved Mobipocket, PDF, HTML & TXT support.
  • New user interface features.
  • User interface translations.
