I cannot compare it to the Orizon, since Odyssey is my first Cybook. But I am so far very happy with it. Had it at work last night - and the whole time (about 12 hours worth) the Odyssey was connected to the company WiFi and I was browsing - mostly reading here on Mobileread. The battery meter lost maybe 10% with it never shutting off ( got the shutoff time set to 1 hour) - with heavily scrolling during that time. Bookeen says though that their modified vizplex screen is very energy efficient compared to the normal pearl - and I think I have to believe that. Have not tested epub reading exclusively. And I start to curse Bookeen for putting WiFi and a browser on this damn thing. It was another night I did not get to even read a single page in my book. Its perfect for reading forums - never got tired from reading it for extended times which I cannot say for my LED-LCD screen on my computer. But its a shame that it is so addicting to browse on it - little advice - if you plan to read a book on this thing, make sure you are not in a spot where WiFi is available.
Compared to my prs-300 the Odyssey seams to hold its charge for a lot longer time. And thanks Eowyn for finding out that it warns you if it gets too low - I have not got it down so far since I still plug it in every few days and upload stuff to it. Very happy with battery life so far ...
