I do not agree here
I think the Cybook is an outstanding device now, with many features much ahead of the competition, some even no one talks about much of the time until they use it or loose it.
An example of this is the possibility to bold all the text, this is an amazing friendly option to read at night or in poor lighted places!
Another is the possibility to put as much fonts as you would want… hell I have one of my own handwriting in it just for the fun!
Also the Mobipocket reader in it is way ahead and more stable then the competition, and for much we would be pro ePub, the facto standard in eBooks reading now is the Mobipocket format (the Kindle format is just plain Mobipocket format with a twist!) and I do not see it going away soon!
Want one more? Just now can the Sony users (good for them!!!) read free eBooks in Pdf format from public libraries… you can do that with the Cybook in Mobipocket format since the begin of the year (when Bookeen put out the internal clock patch)!
I would not trade my Cybook now for anything but… once the Sony people managed to put out an upgrade that offers ePub (do not forget we are able to read unprotected ePub files now already via the Mobipocket Reader import ePub option) and Pdf reading that can reflow text, I want that too! They have proved it can be done!
And as it looks Bokeen is working in the ePub front (as I state above), I think it would be outstanding if we could have Pdf reading with the reflow option too.
Just popping them into the reader and not needing to pass the Pdf conversion hell.
The upgrades up to now have been minor, because the reader as been quite good from the beginning.
The thing is… now is the time to go ahead to the next level.
