I hope it not comes with the abusive price of iRex...
This realy fits my needs. a good PDF suport with zoom, marging crop and search. A nice file management (I hope) with rating, and touchscreen. I hope it can handle hundreds of PDFs. A killer function of my dreams is a full search in all files of the device, not only in the filenames but inside the files. that would be awesome. |

In the video the words are cut at the end of each line, without Hyphens. (like th at). And it seems the HTML and CHM files were loaded not as a paginated book but as a standard scrollable page (no bottom margin, and the last lines were cut in half vertically) Scrolling in Eink sucks. I hope this is still a beta. As for the device in itself, does someone have been able to take one in his hands? What about the build quality and the ease if use? Cheap plastics or aluminum? |

The way I held my Cybook, I kept wishing the button would be in the middle - just where my thumb rested. This looks pretty good to me.

if the words at the end of the lines are going to be chopped in 1/2, then what good is this thing going to be for reading?

The photo on the website said "TODO" on a couple of the features such as free searching in .TXT documents so I doubt that the firmware is fully mature yet. Judging by the bebook/hanlin firmware releases, it can work to the user's advantage that the manufacturer is actively looking to improve/update the firmware. |

I think it's the document problem if you mean the text files in the video. Last edited by layel; 03-01-2009 at 09:39 PM. |

I see they mentions text to speech like the Kindle. Will the Authors Guild go after them too?

This does look really good. I guess the device has capability to have a dictionary look-up feature.
