Harry,
Thanks for your impressions. Here is an excerpt from an early 2008 review of the Cybook...
Pros
* Fast—faster than the Sony PRS-505
* Thin, light, and small
* Very good battery life, (8,000 page-flips, according to Bookeen, and many hours of MP3 playback, revealed by our test)
* Latest e-paper screen—very comfortable to read in a well-lit environment
* Mobipocket format and software is excellent
* Good—and free—RSS support
Cons
* Cumbersome page-flip mechanism
* Only a few, small hardware buttons
* Current firmware (late February 2008) lacks folder and subfolder capabilities, making anything with more than 100 items difficult to find
* Incomplete PDF support—some files don’t open or crash the device
* No SDHC support
* No wireless connectivity
How does this compare with your impressions? Have any of the firmware updates helped any of the "cons".
Thanks,
RA
