Thanks so much! I don't have an eink reader but have bought (and returned) a Kobo Wifi, Nook and Kindle 3. I'm hoping that an Orizon will be the one I've been waiting for. Could you also comment on the performance with pdfs and comics?
Comics ? What format exactly ?

Pdf, it's quite ok. The touch screen make it more usable than the opus or gen3.
Though it take some time getting used to. Even figuring out what the cybook does and when.

cbz/zip or a folder of images.

The orizon will not read cbz or .zip.
Images works. But it will centre the image. And if you need to zoom, going to next image requires displaying the menu, to clic on next page.

Ok, I'll convert the images to pdf then. Were you unable to take a video of the Orizon?

pdf ? Mmm, that might work if done properly. Beware of heavy images though.

I didn't really tried taking a video. Totally forgot about it. But i think it will be too pixelised to see anything.

Here is a video of the FR function on our orizon. Apologies for the quality as i was using my camera phone left-handed at the time

Still picture of the screen display



Video here http://www.vimeo.com/18322056

I hope this helps you knowledgeable people as i don't understand what a 'flashing refresh' is

Thanks for that. If there is nothing better announced at CES, I'll be getting this once it comes to the USA
