As for machines, we have:
  • Sony (psst: Zelda has a 700...)
  • CyBook (all veeery excited tonight)
  • Kindle
  • BeBook (very interesting)
  • an Apple Newton!!!
  • eBookwise
hm, there was also Michael Dahan, from Bookeen , as well as Alain Pierrot, who was present at the very first apéro !! it was great to see him again !

also quite a few other members, including some which we met for the first time :
Xaaf was there with his Bebook so i could finally see one live !
EowynCarter
chlorine
Nammalvar
Hadrien
the Lyonnaise délégation of Gaurnim and Aphrael
ebouquin
miamigo
randy11

there was also a kindle 1 which i was able to play with for just a few minutes. i succeeded in turning the page accidentally within 30 seconds of picking it up.

  • Micro-SD :-/
yep, the opus looks really great ! nice and compact, good ergonomy (FINALLY page turning buttons on the side of the screen !!!!! and since there is an accelerometer, you can use them with right or left hand), epub, folders (!!), and very rapid refresh. i can't wait until they are available, i think quite a few people are going to love them !

epub will be for next update, but in the meantime, this one brings a working delete button !!

They might think of it as a betatesting release.
abelturd, i think you won't have to wait too long now (REALLY !).
