So would you consider the bebook to be the better of the two? (cybook vs. bebook) For your use that is.

That said, I will continue to recommend the BeBook to anyone who is looking for an eBook Reader. It has great format support, easy to understand interface, font sizes are good for the majority of people, and the price is right. I'm just really picky. I'm looking forward to future firmware updates from both companies, sooner or later they should adopt the best of both worlds and leave me with 2 awesome eBook Readers. See my comparison chart in this post: Comparison Between BeBook and Cybook |

Non DRM files would be fine. Do you know if OpenInkpot or any of the other support dictionary lookup from within the eBook? This could be worth re-flashing my firmware.

Wallcraft, do you know if the firmware that has FBReader embedded is in addition to the other formats the EZ Reader supports, or replaces them and only uses FBReader?

It opens RTF, TXT, FB2, HTM and CHM in FBReader and everything else using whatever is normally used. Opening epub would be nice too if any linux heads want to do another patch. |

It's well worth it. I'm currently running it from the SD card but it is more stable flashed. I'm just waiting for PDF support to improve and I'll go back to just running OpenInkpot.

Under OpenInkPot, FBReader is the default but CR3 can be used instead for formats that both support. |

Thanks. I read the post but was unclear on whether it replaced or enhanced. |
