First Cybook reflections ..

Well .. my Cybook arrived this afternoon (UK) and I must say I'm very impressed indeed .. for me, this is definitely the right machine ..

It is nice and simple to use (yup, good for me! lol) and so light! ..

The cover is excellent! .. my hubby has an iRex and this cover is a gazillion times better! .. it adds to the niceness of the machine rather than detracts and it's so good to have a cover that you dont have to remove to get at buttons etc

It's fast .. much much faster than the iRex (which feels slow as molasses) .. it takes next to no time to power on and the page turning is awesome!

Would prefer page turning on the left (or both but not as ugly as the Kindle!) and with the cover on it's almost an effort to press the right bit altho I suspect as the Cybook settles into its cover more it will become easier ..

The library view is also good altho I'd very much like a 'sort by author' option .. would expect this to come at some point with a software update ..

I am feeling the screen a little on the small side but I've been using an iRex so have been spoiled somewhat .. I will get used to it I know ..

so far then very impressed and very happy ..

the iRex tho is the right e-reader for hubby who does more than just read on his and also views a fair number of work-related pdfs .. so we both get the best
