It's more expensive than the Kobo Glo which I already got. Nonetheless it will be interesting to read and watch the independent reviews when this new device is available. Comparing it to the Glo and the Paperwhite is what I mean.

I think I will get it though. I saw Kobo Glo in the shop and I loved the screen. But I'm used to Bookeen's UI. And I already sat out 2 generations of Cybooks so this one might be a significant upgrade. But, being an early adopter AGAIN, brrr...

After my experience with Orizon,I will never be an early Cybook adopter but I'll have to admit I love their file shorting UI. I hate "libraries" and such that other brands use. On the other hand Cybook has other more serious issues with their devices. |

Don't know, the orizon the the only cybook that never gave me trouble. Though bookeen had noting to do with the breakage of the gen3 screen.
Then I didn't bought it right away. So bugs where fixed. My 3rd (and I hope last !) odyssey is on it's way back from bookeen support. Hopefully I should have the fixed version. |

Hm, is it just me, or does it look in those pictures as though they shrunk the margins a bit? If so, good.

Well, it should be on sale as of today. I would really like to see it in person. But will have to wait until Fnac.be has it in shops but I NEVER saw regular Odyssey there at all
Are you going to buy it? |

I'm quite interested too. I let Orizon and 1st Odyssey pass, never had a touch screen yet and now with light. I wonder how capacitive screen will work with light though.
