Hello everyone!
I have just bought a new Cybbok and I am very happy about it.
I did not buy the deluxe version so I am going to buy soon a memory card...which size is better? Thanks! Triwi

Hi triwy and welcome to MobileRead!

Congrats on your new reader!

I don't have a Cybook, so I can't help you on the memory card, but someone will come along who can, I'm sure.

hi triwy and welcome !

you might want to wait a little while before you buy a memory card ; many people find the internal memory is big enough to hold quite a lot of books, and the more books you have on your cybook the more difficult it becomes to navigate through the library. so you might decide you don't need one after all.

but if you do want one, try doing a search through the cybook forum to see what other people are using, or post your question in there ; i'm sure you'll get plenty of recommendations.

Hello triwy, and welcome to MobileRead.

I assume that by "memory card" you're talking about an SD card. Over on Bookeen's web site, they say "The Cybook may not be able to read certain SD cards with more than 2 GBytes of memory size." One of the folks who actually have a Cybook may be able to offer more guidance. With SC cards so inexpensive, you might choose to get several smaller cards and load them with different types of books. And don't get all stirred up about needing SD cards. The internal memory of the Cybook Gen 3 comes with about 500 MB of storage free and that can hold from 500-1000 books, depending on the size of the books. For example, the Mobipocket version of Breaking Dawn, fourth book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers, is 828KB while the hardback version is 768 pages. The majority of books are much shorter and the eBook version will be smaller as well.

Now -- with that technical stuff out of the way -- I want to say again, Welcome to MobileRead. We're a friendly crowd and would like to get to know you better. Check out the "Deals, Freebies, and Resources" topic for some free books to load up your Cybook. And, of course, there are over 1000 free books readable on your Cybook hosted right here at MobileRead. Just use the "E-books" link in the blue bar at the top of the page and take a look at the books in Mobipocket format.

Hello everyone!
Thanks for the warm welcoming. I will follow your advice and not buy a SD car by now...500 titles are quite a lot anyway.
I cannot wait to see how I will feel reading from an electronic book and I really hope it will be all right!

Be sure and let us know what you think. I've found reading an eBook to be very similar to a pBook.
