You can keep it and stuff it in draw or maybe wait for update, check your return policy!

I won't give up, yet.
I'll try for the rest of the night. If I'm still not successful, I'll try again in a few days.
Concerning the display quality, I have to check more material. Maybe it's just PDFs. But for checking material, I'd like to solve the SD card issue...
Cybook Gen3 is an okay unit, so I just don't want to believe, that their new model should really suck...

And: It's probably a bad comparison, to rank Opus with Sony 700.
Sony 700 I'd describe as "washed out". It's like looking through "milky glass", which we kind of do because of the touchscreen layer.
Cybook Opus I'd describe as "faded out". Maybe similar to an inkjet printer which is out of ink (or at least short of ink).
Meaning: It's as "bad" as Sony 700 (which still is good, in standalone comparison to Notebooks for example), but it's "another kind of bad"...
