Michael from Bookeen puts his support behind the idea that the Opus is 'pocketable'.

I'm not a Bookeen fan, but I don't really consider this an Opus problem. Could be an issue common to all eink devices or mis-handling by the reviewer.
Have you seen the so-called videos?! You see an Opus spinning and whirling around after falling and hiting the "ground" (?)... You can't see any background, surroundings or the height it is dropped + no sound. If it's dropped at all and this is not a computer generated animation (which it kinda looks like to me...).

However, since they'll come up with plastic screens you'd better be carful with your readers (from any manufacturer)!
