![]() ![]() Note rounded top and bottom edges on the cybook, different button, inset grey stripe and different bezel. On top of that the Cool-ER features an activity LED on the top right. the Cool-ER also has the 'end caps' (where the USB and headphone sockets go) in a different plastic, with the outer case wrapping around them. |

OK, you're right, it's not identical, but it's VERY similar. The CyBook also has an activity LED in the same place as the Cool-ER, although it doesn't show up in the picture you've posted.

You're right, Dale, that is different. The Gen3's buttons are "inside" the case and are accessed through an opening. I hadn't appreciated that difference - thank you for pointing it out. I still maintain, however, that buttons with a "positive" action are a good thing - as long as they aren't difficult to press, of course!

I have preordered this ereader so I was curious if it supports hungarian letters. I sent them a text and they sent me a scan back which shows the display with the text on it. It is almost identical to the original text.

The Daily Mail has a hands-on review.
She likes it the best of all the devices she has tried , but the button thing came up again. |

There was a lot of criticism of the original Cybook D-pad here at MR so you certainly should be aware of it. |

Since the design is changes I suppose anything can have changed with respect to this. And I actually think the new design for the Cybook is not really so good for a page turning button. I still think it is a bit too hard to press.

Yes they can since the case design is significantly different, even the hardware can be different even if it use the same PCB form factor
