The Bookeen blog has posted (http://bookeen.blogspot.com/2007/10/packaging-pic.html) a picture of what the packaging will look like for their third generation reading device, the Cybook Gen3. I know the box shouldn't matter all that much, but somehow just seeing a decent box can get you all excited about a product. (Click through to the full article page, and then click on the thumbnail to see the full sized picture.)

It's good to see, the blog had been quiet for a while. It's promising to see that the online shop is opening soon too.

Somehow, the box at that angle makes me think of the 2001 Monolith...

Bookeen to the public on getting the Gen3 out in October....

My God... it's full of stars!

Or electrons, anyway...

And when the device comes out, someone can say: "Well, I'll be damned if I can find anything wrong with it!"

Is the box in a 1:4:9 size ratio? If so, cue the music... :smash:
