Ectaco support (Paul Feofanov) said me to ask their NY office.

According to Abe Khan I have to pay (at my post office) to send the unit to their office
and I also have to pay 35$ for shipping from US to France.

Combined with the fact that I ever paid 100 euros for customs... that's a very
expensive ebook reader !!! (which is not fully usable)...

it's not a very good way of looking at "early adopters"

I'm not responsible of the problem... with other company (Apple for example)
the company send you a box where you put the damaged device... and you
pay nothing because they know that it's their fault (and consummer doesn't have
to pay because of device constructor mistake.

I also would like to notice that there is in fact 3 problems that happened gradualy :

1st pb:
the wireless connection was always on and there was no way to swiched it off

2nd pb:
the OS update couldn't be done

3rd pb:
the power supply stopped to charge the unit.

In the begining of the problem I didn't want to write this publicly... but now
if a more "customer friendly" solution is not given I will go ahead...
