The discussion about the various models piqued my interest (me having the oldest incarnation of the Cybook) so I had a look at the Bookeen homepage to find out what specifications we have arrived at by now and was quite a bit surprised:

In the specifications they list:
Processor 200MHz
ROM memory 8 MB
RAM memory 16 MB
Storage memory 64 MB Data Flash

http://www.bookeen.com/shop/productd...?ProductID=417

I couldn't find any other version of the Cybook Gen3 sold at their site currently, so it seems they have either downgraded their hardware again or are currently selling off some old stock/remarketed models. The price tag is still at a whopping 350$ which must be some kind of weird joke as there are people who bought a better model a year ago for the same price.

Anyone know what kind of mystery is behind that?
