And what usefull things that one would do the Cybook firmware don't anyway ? Note typing ? the idea is ingenious for sure, but, i can't even type on my cell phone's keybord. Epub ? -> That's coming for Cybook Better pdf -> Same thing. Folders -> Same again. Fancy icones ? -> well, it's just fanciness. Sudoku -> My DS does that better. What's the hype about it hey ? And is there some 301+ only stuff ? Well, if and when they realase a Cybook version, i'll probably try it, but not without making sure i can go back to the bookeen firmware. The way you speak, it's like the bookeen firmware is total crap, while the pocketbook one is just wonderfully perfect. They are not that different.

@Eowyn
These are the things that pocketbook has and cybook doesn't (which probably won't be implemented even in the forthcoming update) and which I find very useful because they make the reader to an actual working tool, not just a leisure fiction reader:
Please note that I don't hold it against bookeen that gen3 doesn't have any of this. It wasn't advertised when I bought my cybook and I knew what I was getting for my money. If I want these functions, I have to buy another device, I get it. Edit: Quote:

@Eowyn
What are you, a kid, that you feel the urge to disprove everything I say? If you're perfectly happy with your cybook, it's fine with me. Good for you. |

I'll rather not say anything, or it's going to turn into a fight and I don't want that.

You were right, you shouldn't have said anything.
But you just couldn't help yourself, could you? |

You have to understand, that nothing of what I said was meant in a bad way. I'm just trying to point out weak spots so they can be fixed. Isn't that what we all want, to have a better cybook?
However, cybook is not unmatched, the market is steadily growing and there's no way how it could avoid being compared with other devices, especially if they're based on the same hardware. But you're right, let's be friends |

It's perhaps worth noting that current CyBooks appear to be based on the Netronix EB600 hardware - ie 400MHz CPU, 32MB RAM (despite what the hardware spec on Bookeen's website says!).

Yeah, that got me wondering why bookeen didn't advertise them that way if that's the case ?

- Go to your local pocketbook retailer
- Take a Pocketbook box - Go to the check point - Get your credit card out - Pay - Go out, and Tada ! you have a PocketBook firmware ! |
