Does anybody know how many different readers have been called Gen3? I know (or I'm pretty sure) that the first Gen3 was basically a Netronix EB100 (larger case, SD card faced backwards). Later models were EB600 of various sorts.

This is something that Open Inkpot will need to know to build firmware that will work for everybody (or as many as possible).

Mine is labeled on the back as CYBGEN310B. "about" says 400MHz processor. It has 512MB flash, 32MB ram and 2MB boot rom. I think the only way to find out the last two is by opening it up. It's pretty easy if you're brave.

So what kind of Cybook Gen3 do you have? Extra details gratefully accepted...

Thanks - pholy
