I've been using a Cybook Gen3 since yesterday and it's been a breeze. My previous experience with the concept of e-books was limited to Adobe Digital and MS Reader on PCs. The interaction is very similar but to be able to read from an e-ink display is beyond words.

Some concerns I read previously about the fiability of the button on the Cybook are, to me, greatly exagerated. I didn't find any fault with the action of said button, it's very responsive with the kind of assuring «click» we so often miss from those soft touch buttons.

So, even if I can't really compare my Cybook with the likes of Kindle or Sony PRS-505 (which I was about to order but ultimately decided on the Cybook mainly because of HarryT opinions and the vast number of ebooks supported natively by the Cybook) I must say that I'm pretty satisfied so far with this little piece of hardware.
