Simple to use ereader programs often remove this kind of control from the user in the idea of simple to use. The whole easy to use paradigm is often flawed by thinking that removing control and options is a good thing. Since Bookeen is writing the program and using one program to support many formats there is no reason that they would adopt the eReader paradigm. The whole reason for using one eReader program as Bookeen has chosen to do would be to provide a consistent look and feel for all books, no matter what the underlying format. (There is, of course, some limitations based on what is supported in the book database but I think you understand what I am trying to say.) Dale |

Must be the same staff as Mobipocket then.
Mobipocket's prices are ridiculous. Full list price from their site. Also they refuse to allow Sony to use their DRM format on the reader because they also have LRF. Not a smart business move. |

MobiPocket may be the reason that Bookeen cannot license another DRM system as well. (I think this is likely based on your comment on Sony) It is only someones conjecture that Palm refused to talk and now everybody seems to jump on the wagon and take it as gospel. This is a forum, many "facts" should be taken with a grain of salt. Dale |

bookeen.com seems to be unavailable.
Not that I would order on now, but the modalities do interest me. |

$383.32 is what it will cost to get a Cybook Gen3 in the USA. Shipping is EXPENSIVE!

NAEB ordering?
Derek, Since the ordering has begun from bookeen I think you should really hurry and get some info to us to figure out if we are to buy naeb or bookeens cybook. What I would like to know is what is the Warranty? Is it through bookeen or do you have a separate one. If the Device goes bad how is it going to get fixed in that warranty period. Do I have to ship it to France or where naeb is located? The cost is something I need to know too. What features is it going to have different now or in the future. Is naeb going to have the deluxe model? Sorry to bug you like this but a lot of us are very excited about the cybook and need something not to get the version from bookeen now.

Hi
Quote:
"Limited Warranty Coverage Bookeen standard Product warranty is one (1) year after date of delivery. If a defect arises and a valid claim is received by Bookeen within the Warranty Period, Bookeen will repair the product at no charge (except shipment costs see below), using new or refurbished replacement parts or replace the product with a comparable product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and with at least functionally equivalent to the original product.... <SNIP> ...The shipment of the defective units to Bookeen office is taken in charge by the customer, the shipment back of the repaired units to the customer is taken in charge by Bookeen." So, a standard 1-year RTB warranty by the sound of it, shipping to Bookeen at the customers expense... LOL JSW - you could always order one from the UK - equivalent of $524 USD - ouch! Still, the shipping's only $21.39 - but then Britain is closer to France, physically at least |

Warranty
I know about the Bookeen warranty. Its about the standard for the US. What I want to know is how NAEB llc. will be handling the warranty for devices sold through them. Do I ship to NAEB if defective or Bookeen. It would be quite a bit different shipping cost. Might be faster turn around for repairs or slower. Thats what I need to know about the warranties.

Great update to the homepage. I like it! It's full of new info. The shop is nicely done too. I am only dissapointed that the promised email announcement didn't arrived. Thank goodness for Mobileread.
The price of shipping changed substantially in the past hours. I will wait with my order for a few weeks so that everything is ok with the shipping arrangements. And I have to extend my Visa limit I can't wait! |

I like the site as well, after ordering I decided to read everything there weas, and came accros the RSS function. That's a big + for me. Now I can just load the independent (newspaper) on the reader and not have a big headache every time I read it.

The RSS stuff is a feature of the Windows Mobi Desktop Reader. Nothing to do with the CyBook, per se; it works with any device which supports MobiPocket.

NAEB has asked if we can serve as a drop point for North American returns, however we have yet to get a reply.
