What's up with Booken?

All their ereader models are sold out on from their webstore http://www.bookeen.com/shop/europe/i...tore=europe_fr and I can hardly find them in other stores either. Any thoughts? New models on the way perhaps?

Wow, after years of delay on their giant reader with laughably outdated specs, they decided to suddenly release a pair of readers with modern specs and no warning.

I tease, but only because I really want a modern reader with Bookeen's software, which is the best I've used so far.

And the new version fixes lots of the lacks.

It'll get the ocean almost for sure.
Muse, maybe later. I also want to get a nexus 6 and my bank account isn't unlimited.

A quite strange thing: apart from the two Muse there are two new Odyssey e-reader
-Odyssey Frontlight 2
http://www.bookeen.com/en/cybook-odyssey-frontlight2
-Odyssey Essential
http://www.bookeen.com/en/cybook-odyssey-essential

And those weren't mentioned in Bookeen blog but both of them are available for purchase now, while Muse are supossed to be in one month.

I don't understand: Will bookeen sell 5 e-readers simultaneously (2 Odyssey, 2 Muse & Ocean)? A bit strange having very similar products (Odyssey an Muse)
Or will Muse replace the new Odyssey? In that case another question: why relsing the new Odyssey if replacement arrives in one month?

That's weird. And also apparently still not for sale in the US. If anybody sees these for sale somewhere that will ship to America, please let me know.

After examining the website and their blog it looks as though the Muse Essential/Frontlight and the Odyssey Essential/Frontlight are the same two devices, and Bookeen just can't decide which is the correct name.

Also apparently THEY HAD AN OUTSIDE-EUROPE SHOP ALL ALONG, or maybe it only just appeared, but in any case it doesn't actually have the link to it anywhere on their website except in their response to somebody's comment.

EDIT: Only, it appears to ship to any country outside Europe that isn't the US.

Yeah, there seams to be some problem with bookeen and the US.

The muse and odyssey are different devices. They don't look the same at all.

I agree. It seem specifications are similar among Muse and Odyssey, but body is different.

AS this Muse vs new Odyssey is quite strange I have just ask Bookeen in their blog.
You can't read my comment because I have just write it and ""Your comment is awaiting moderation"

--
Good morning/Bonjour.
Interesting devices!
But apart from the two Muse there are two new Odyssey e-readers:

-Odyssey Frontlight 2

-Odyssey Essential[

And those weren’t mentioned in this but both of them are available for purchase now.
new Odyssey and Muse are different devices, aren’t they? But while body is different I don’t know which specifications are differents between Oddysey and Muse.
What’s the difference between Odyssey FL2 and Muse FL or between Odyssey Essential and Muse Essential?
Will new Odyssey continue after being released the two Muse?

Thank you/merci beaucoup

Well, somebody asked yesterday about that in the french language Bookeen blog.
The answer was
---
La Muse FrontLight ne remplace pas l’Odyssey qui est toujours disponible (modèles Essential et FrontLight), elle vient plutôt enrichir notre gamme de liseuses avec un nouveau modèle 6″.
---
http://blog.bookeen.com/fr/bookeen-p...cean/#comments

While my French is worse than my English (and my English is far from perfect) I understand: Muse doesn't replace Odyssey.
Strange having very similar device but ...

You got the french right And i don't realy get the point of having both either. Maybe they still do have some odyssey stocks.

Thanks/merci beaucoup.
I don't see the point. Almost all of the other manufacturers/distributors that have different e-readrs it's because them have one or more of the following specifications:
-different screen size
-different resolution
-Frontlight vs not illuminated
-touch vs no touch
But Odyssey FL2 vs Muse FL: same screen size, same resolution, both have frontligh, both have touch screen (and wifi and ...) and both have the same price. It's the same with Odyssey Essential vs Muse Essential.

Perhaps Bookeen has a big stock of Odyssey bodies (as you said)and put Muse boards in Odyssey bodies?
