please
develop a MacOSX version
and support japanise characters
Yes we need a mac osx version as not everyone in the world is wedlocked to windows.
How will the device synchronise with a mac? WIll it be recognised when I plug it in? Will I be able to drag and drop files in... I do so want to buy one of these so at least a USB driver so that it is recognised by mac OS X is a mus.
The Cybook is detected as an USB mass storage device so you can just drag and drop your files. The Mobipocket Desktop Reader is an extra, but not mandatory.
yes, the mac community is going to increase in time. you better start to develop for both platforms, it would be nice!
Thanks for that information Icehand. I'm yet another Mac user who was wondering if the Cybook would be a viable companion to my Mac computer. Good to hear that the answer is yes.
i'm also a Mac user....
Please develop a Mac Version...
You guys realize that Bookeen doesn't have any control over what platform Mobipocket Reader is developed for, right?
If you want a Mac version, talk to the Mobipocket team.
How are firmware updates done, though? Hopefully not some method that requires a Windows box...
