I hope for a way to jump between pages in library and, more important - at least for me - is an easier way to access lookup function.

When I turn on my CyBook I'd like it to open back on the page I previously left (or is it possible already?)

No, today what one gets at open up is the library with the last read book selected.

I would also like for the device to go to the page I was on when I start up. The Iliad can do that, way useful.

Well, let's all hope Bookeen regulary reads this forum... :-)
I think they do. One more thing: if Bookeen intends to show battery charge when reading, I am pretty sure that on that same bar will some other information be shown (such as in Sony's reader)! Regards Nelson |

There's ample room to show a battery meter at one side of the progress bar. |

That's a good point Harry, a minor niggle I have with the Cybook is the lost reading space due to the book title and progress bar. When the title is turned off that space isn't used. If Bookeen do happen to be reading, it'd be nice to get that space back.

Does it really matter if you get 26 or 30 lines per page? Personally this is a totally unimportant change and I also think the margins are good as they are and really hope they do not change them without making it configurable.

In addition, reducing the side margins means longer lines, less chances of awful line breaks (and again more text per page and less page turns), more chances for verses fitting in a single line and not be broken... And of course, it should be configurable. Has anyone noticed that if you set a really small font size you get huge margins, by the way? |

A very old and most probably correct typographical rule of thumb to maximize readability is to have a maximum of around 60 characters on a line. And the smallest size respects that which is a very good thing. I totally hate too long lines since it is so hard to read.

I have a pretty serious problem, which might not be encountered by any of you. In the library, cybook DOESN'T support font changing!! That means, with chinese titles, I can see only *frames* in the cover hence I have no idea which is which!!
Hopefully they would fix it.(I know the chance is pretty slim...) |

I do agree that a "clean" a "free" screen is essential in a 6' screen. And that is why I do not realy like the progress bar - it is simply not the most discret way of showing where you are in a book. The header (when activated) should have a smaller font too. Regards Nelson |
