The dictionary lookup is a mess. Annotations are a mess. Panning/zooming is a mess. The settings are very similar to that of a Kindle. I don't know if it's because of the way the settings are, but in the video, the page number display is rather large.

GoodEReader recommends far too much (Not critical enough) and even they could not recommend the Muse.
I have always thought that the GoodeReader reviews are more like a device poking contest than a real review. I have been using the Cybook Muse for a week or so and I love it. I read books. I don't highlight, annotate or make notes. Occasionally I look up a word. English dictionary has to be downloaded separately but it works just fine. I need an ereader for reading books. What do I expect from a good ereader? White screen. Sharp, black text. Nice and light to hold. Well, that's Muse.
