Now I finally get your "snickering" reference. Man, my thinking is slow today.
OK, next week it is, but this is the last time I'm falling for this.

K-Thom · 07-04-2009, 06:42 PM

It's been tarring and feathering that came to my mind ... after that I'd snicker.

Or ist "snickering" a French phrase for "throwing someone into the Seine and feeling better afterwards"?

I had discutions with the bookeen's guy, in fact the firmware will be nearly the same for the Gen3 and the Opus, and the Opus will be shipped with ePub, but it could be modified to read Mobi, like for the Gen3.

The version they give us this night will be out soon (more sooner than NextMonday©

) and the ePub version will be out after. The ePub version will be out before or at the same time as the Opus.

(I hope I don't miss something...)

bootup is slow (hm)
there's folder management!!! With several levels.
it switches to horizontal mode when you turn it sideways...
Micro-SD :-/

yep, the opus looks really great ! nice and compact, good ergonomy (FINALLY page turning buttons on the side of the screen !!!!! and since there is an accelerometer, you can use them with right or left hand), epub, folders (!!), and very rapid refresh. i can't wait until they are available, i think quite a few people are going to love them !

epub will be for next update, but in the meantime, this one brings a working delete button !!

They might think of it as a betatesting release.

abelturd, i think you won't have to wait too long now (REALLY !).

"Snickering" is the equivalent of a French behavior that consists in making snide side remarks (possibly hiding your mouth behind your hand) while giggling at/ oggling the object of your wrath...
(and anger management is an interesting possibility of human life).

Où sont les images d'hier? je voudrais regarder les liseuses, et le cybook opus.

EowynCarter · 07-05-2009, 01:56 PM

C'est vrai !

Les photos ! Les photos !

captaingeorges · 07-05-2009, 01:57 PM

Ah que j'aurais aimé traverser l'Atlantique pour rencontrer toutes ces personnes dont je ne connais que les Avatars!!!

On peut toujours rêver!

Au plaisir, et merci pour les renseignements!

Godzil · 07-05-2009, 02:07 PM

En meme temps, quand on ne connais que les avatars, voir les tête ça fait bizzare

(mais en meme temps, c'est bien aussi de connaitre les têtes ^^)

we had 2 photographers taking photos last night, Clément from the site ebouquin and our very own Xaaf, they both have promised to send me the photos / upload them here but so far i've not received them. clément has already put the unboxing photos on his site and flickr so here are links to the full report :
http://www.ebouquin.fr/2009/07/05/no...u-cybook-opus/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ebouqui...7620963287700/

and i've attached a selection from the Opus Unboxing (taken by clément).

i'm sorry to say i didn't take any photos at all myself last night

so we just have to count on xaaf and clément (and appreciate the photos they will share with us !).

c'est vrai c'est toujours un peu étonnant (surtout qu'il y en a certains qui nous font des surprises...), mais pour moi c'est pas tellement les têtes c'est d'essayer de me faire à des prénoms qui ne sont (souvent) pas les mêmes que les pseudos !!

(d'ailleurs j'y ai plus ou moins renoncé).
