I spare you all the story. absolutely similar to the ones told here so far. (120 euros, blah blah). I finally came to the conclusion that I did not know what i did but I did something wrong.
The good thing is that they are going to repair it here in Italy, the annoying thing is that nobody informed us before the purchase about the extreme frailty of the screen. Now even Harry admits that it is very delicate without a hard case, but why don't put it a HUGE warning in all the forums?
I also think that the cybook is more fragile because of its thinness, and I can bet that something will be done in the next version and that the Bookeen is totally aware that there is some weakness in the product.
Ok, now what shall i do?
I was thinking of having it repaired, not without an impressive number of f* words because I have spent too much time in collecting, formatting and converting books in the prc format to throw it all away.
But I am also thinking of buying a Sony 505 during my next trip to London (it is not sold in Italy) which costs 199 pounds.
And when both the two devices pass away for no apparent reason, I will take the local library card and forget about the digital books.

I broke my Cybook again and got the same offer - 120 EUR, which was the price for repair about a year ago. But now - only topping with 80 USD I can get a Kindle international which is much more robust and it will digest my moby book collection as well. So I asked Bookeen whether the repair cost is negotiable. I'm wondering what will be the answer.
