Still at home I just use it without the cover… I’m fascinated by Cybook’s thinness and lightness… really something indeed (even my htc 3600 pocketpc phone edition is heavier!)
Up to now, so far so good, not much time to read, but managed to get it up and running, loaded eBooks into it, tested Pdf’s, Text files and Html’s… it’s everything everybody as been saying and more.
No problems with the buttons and the OS is really fast and intuitive, reader programs run smooth and accessing the machine as a “drive” is easy.
I will be participating more around here, and I wand (done that already in the presentation part of the forums, but it’s never too much) to say a big THANKS(!) to all of you who help everybody who visits these forums (ex: helped me a lot in my decision).
I will be asking some things too, and here goes the first question:
The pocketpc phone I mention above (htc 3600) as a mini USB wall charger.
As this machine charges from a normal USB cable from a PC I wonder if I can use it’s wall charger to charge the Cybook? As someone who as one tested if it works?
The thing is, the charger says: output 5V - 1A
The Cybook says: input 5V - 0.5A
Tank you very much in advance and best regards,

I believe that the charger states its *MAXIMUM* output, while the Cybook only *draws* the power stated while in charging mode. Thus, the charger isn't strained by the charging process. I wouldn't want to slap a 5V 16A device onto it though!
