The focus of my review was on how well it works with Pocket PCs, but, since it uses a mini-USB cable, on a whim I plugged it into my Cybook and found that it works with the Cybook too!

When I got my Cybook, I did not get the AC adapter, so the only way I've been able to recharge the battery is by plugging it into a USB port on my computer, and that's not always very convenient. Now I can charge up this little USB Power Pack and take it with me when I go on the road, and I don't have to worry so much about getting to a computer to recharge the Cybook.

Check it out and see what you think!
Both Datexx and APC (makers of all those UPSes for PCs) make portable power packs and you can usually find them listed on eBay. Great devices, really. Now if *ONLY* Bookeen would make the Cybook usable while charging...
