Cybook Gen3 + M-Edge cover
8 months old (64MB model), 708 firmware.
No damage to the unit, just not the ebook reader I was looking for. Cybook Gen3, including M-Edge cover, usb loader, earphones, Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. 300 euro. Payment method to be determined. Regards, Adelheid Last edited by adelheid; 10-24-2008 at 04:38 PM. Reason: Opened for sale again, I have to get rid of it |

Ofcourse the price is an indication. I have no idea how well Cybooks do on the second hand market.
Feel free to propose your own price. |

what didn't you like about it
I'm looking to buy my first eReader and was considering this one - any particular reasons it wasn't good for you?

Compared to my previous reader (Palm m515) starting it up takes too long, the buttons to operate it are clunky and noisy, navigating through books is slow and cumbersome, well, I could go on for hours.
Overall, it is just not fast enough, flexible enough and easy enough to operate (that's my -very- subjective opinion). Regards, Adelheid |

Reopened thread
It pains me to see the Cybook lying around, unused. So I reopened this thread.
Although I don't use it anymore, I will not sell it for too low a price. I originally said 300 euro. I don't want to go too far below that. |

Adelheid,
Given that one can buy a brand new Gen3, with a cover, for £180 (€233, at today's exchange rate), don't you think that your asking price of €300 is a little high? I think that realistically you have to reduce it to below €200 if you want a sale, especially if this is the original 64MB model. |

Well, seems to be a lost cause then ...
I will take my losses and end the sale once again. Obviously there's only one way for my Cybook to go: the bin ... Shame though. |

Have you tried ebay? A cybook ( I don't remember if it was the newer one with 512 mb or not) sold for $321 (US dollars) last week- shipped internationally. So you might want to try that.

So you'd rather throw it in the bin than offer it to someone for a lower price? Shame indeed. But yeah, like lisreed said, Cybooks seem to fetch rather ridiculous prices on ebay (probably due to them not being available in the US?) so if you put yours up, you could probably get close to 300 euros. In the german ebay, anyway. |
