Aluratek Libre vs Cybook

Aluratek Libre Pro does not allow use of any table of contents. You can only jump to a specified page number or a bookmark. The CyBook uses TOC, jump to page #, and bookmarks.

While the CyBook screen is light grey and easy on the eyes, the Libre background screen is much darker. It looks more like the color of an old tin can. It has to be held at an angle to maximize contrast between the letters and the background.

The Aluratek Libre has a very limited battery storage capacity and needs to be re-charged much more frequently than a CyBook.

The Aluratek Libre is not able to read any DRM eBooks. It only supports the unencrypted files. "The Libre does not support DRM-restricted eBook formats like MOBI that require a PID." The CyBook can read DRM eBooks.

The Aluratek is less than half the price of a CyBook.
