Bookeen Cybook Opus manual?

carpetmojo · 12-18-2011, 09:32 AM

Any idea where I can get a look at the manual, or at least the "Get Started" manual for the Cybook Opus please ?

I bought one at a very good price from W'stones for a present, and I'd like to have an idea of how to get it up and running. I don't really want to open it before Christmas.

I went on the Cybook site, but don't want to sign on or anything, and I don't want to have to pay for one.
Anyone any idea ? I tried "askmanuals" but they don't seem to know what an ereader is ........

And yes, you'll have to log in, but what are you talking about paying ?

You can download it here:

for some reason you have to create an account to be able to download the manuals.
I have tried to attach it.

Never mind. Too slow.

I'm afraid we've had to remove the attached manual. It's copyrighted material and can't be reposted. Sorry.

if I am not mistaken it is on the Opus itself in electronic form, check under under cybook/ebooks. It is on mine too.

edit: bah, since you don't want to open it. But it is so simple to use you won't need the manual anyway.

Try searching this forum for "Cybook Opus User Manual in PDF" and you'll find it.

Thanks all, very helpful.

carpetmojo · 12-19-2011, 10:16 AM

Perused the manual, should be OK - a thought occurred to me though.
If I'm going to advise using Calibre, do you stil need ADE ?
I thought not, but Mr. Tech-Dunce is open to helpful guidance if he's a twit !

You only need to use ADE if you want to buy DRM-protected ePub books - eg, books from Waterstones, or another commercial bookshop. Calibre and ADE serve different purposes - ADE isn't a substitute for Calibre, nor vice versa.

Ah, got it - thank you Harry.

The recipient will mainly be a "classic" reader, so Calibre will be a nice intro for them to get used to the machine, with P.G. and here at M.R.
