Afternoon all GMT
hi there, I'm dracven (names thom) I've just ordered a Bookeen Opus as Tesco were selling them off and the reviews all seemed happy with it. So for over half the price of the kindle I shall be enjoying my ebook collection properly rather than on my iphone apps.

Can anyone suggest the best format to convert the books to? Reading on here it appears Epub is widely used but the Opus doesn't allow bookmarking(?!? surely half the point is remembering where you were).

I look forward to conversing with some of you along the way.

Cheery bye!!

Good to have your company, Thom. If you hit any snags, go to the device-dedicated sub forum here for quick advice from experienced users. Happy e-reading and best wishes. Neil

Hi Dracven, welcome to MobileRead!
With the Opus you have the possibility to choose between two firmwares, one supports epub-files, the other mobi-files. The mobi firmware allows you to set bookmarks. Both firmwares remember where you stopped in the book last time.
