Bookeen Cybook Gen3 eBook Reader
The Cybook Gen3 from the French company Bookeen has come highly recommended in its reviews. It's smaller than the other current ebook readers, tidiest in its hardware, control, and display arrangement, very light (at 60% to that of Kindle) and are the most usable e-reader up to date. The overall design is extremely sleek, neat, and compact with an almost-all-screen surface. The Cybook comes in two packing version: the Standard Version (at $350) and the Deluxe Version (at $450) that comes with a leather case, a 2 GB SD card storage, a charger, additional battery, and earphones.
Cybook took a minimalist approach for its complete navigation controlled by only a few button selection - on/off, up/down/right/left, enter/delete, and music - a simple arragement yet effective, clean, and simply all that's needed. For comparison, Kindle offers the QWERTY keyboard in adition to the main navigation controls. Users can read either on portrait or landscape mode. Its E-ink display is highly power-efficient as it draws in energy only for refreshing screen (e.g. for a page flip), gives a realistic text-background contrast, and without backlight that allows readers to read under sunlight just like a real book (which wasn't the case for earlier ereaders using LCD screen). Additional features on its usability simply makes it more user-friendly.
Bookeen has a deal with Mobipocket to license and distribute contents to users in the Mobipocket e-book format. This basically gives its users access to approximately 50,000 titles.
