As I've said, my main objective is to read eBooks and, although not as important, manga (comics). If I had to sacrifice one of these, it would be the manga reading, but it would be really nice to have a solution that at least does both reasonably.
I've checked out those Astak eReaders, and it seems they are still in development. And I couldn't find any reference to Mobi format support (?).
Anyway, I've been browsing the forum and found the thread with the Manga2Ebook software. Sounds hopeful (and it would be great to see it's results in a photo with a Cybook displaying the software's results...). The only problem is that it brings the PDF issue again, although I've understood that the resulting PDF are sized for the eReaders standard dimensions (?). I guess that if I converted chapter by chapter, rather than volume by volume, the PDF files wouldn't be too big.
I've also "heard" something about ZIP files support (it would solve all my problems and make me buy the Cybook right NOW) in a firmware update, but the latest update didn't add this feature...
Oh well, I'm inclined to buy the Cybook and enjoying eBooks and manage all the manga hassle until ZIP support comes... If ever.
