i found out why this happens, hadrien explained it to me : it's a problem with the way mobipocket reads the files, it only "reads" the part which is displayed, so it can easily miss a closing tag. wait for epub : that should fix it.

For some reason I always thought them smaller, width- and length-wise. Not surprised the Cybook is thinner. I'm still kind of startled by the thinness of the Cybook when I take it out of the case. I agree with your comments on the navigation buttons--I think Amazon was inspired by the eBookwise's page up/page down buttons for the Kindle.
i'm glad you find it interesting ! i'll have a few more observations to add i'm sure. i wish i wasn't working so much this week, it really cuts into my reading time !!
edit : oh, and yes, it is "la liseuse" (otherwise, it would be "le liseur").

hm. weird. i can't imagine why harryt of all people would evoke a dickens story. particularly *that* story, in this context. yep, it's just incomprehensible.

I converted the review to .imp and .prc ebooks for your use!

Enjoy!
thanks nick ! we can always count on you. i'll go test it out right away.
