There is an other bad thing about the Orizon if you are like me and have a huge collection of books and articles. It can't handle more than a few hundred files. The boot time gets longer the more books you have. With a few thousand it is painfully long. At about 12.000 files the boot time is longer than the battery lasts. So the memory card slot is rather wasted since it can't handle enough books to actually need extra space.
Also the support is rather useless, slow to respond and it seems like the best replies you can expect are "Please install the latest firmware", "Have you tried restarting it?" or "Would you like to send your cybook to our headquarters in Paris, so that we could have a look ?"
It is a shame that they can't fix their bugs before releasing new readers.
I liked the Opus even though it is has some bugs that causes it to freeze regularly, but at least it didn't limit the number of books. Unfortunatly the Orizon is rather worthless for my purposes due to that limit.
