Just a little update. After nearly two months I've decided that the Cybook Gen 3 is not for me... The misgivings that I talked/wrote about in this thread haven't gone away, and I can't help thinking that I could have put those 400 euro to better use. So I've decided to sell my Cybook... (see the flea market forum). I don't regret having given the technology a try - I remain a believer in e-books as a concept - I just don't think the e-ink readers are there yet, technically. I've found that I end up taking a paperback with me wherever I go, as well as the Cybook, and that's just crazy.
