Bookeen Cybook Orizon review

 

Ultimately the lack of a good integrated bookstore and a reasonably speedy browser made the Bookeen Cybook Orizon a non-starter for me. If you're going to invest in a Wi-Fi-equipped e-reader, the shopping procedure shouldn't send you scurrying for a...

Bookeen CyBook Orizon

 

Review Should you be considering Bookeen's CyBook Orizon as your new e-book reader, the only question you really need ask yourself is, do you want to pay an 80 quid extra for a touchscreen.

Bookeen has tried too hard to bridge the gap between e-book readers and tablets. As nice a reader as the Orizon is, the result is a gadget with unnecessary touchscreen text that has pushed up the price too far. ®

Battery power, no more than 2 hours of reading within a week and battery dead although it get switched off every time I finish reading. The screen went mad yesterday after it has been packed with my laptop on a plane journey. I thought that I will...

Had all latest features, and a nice design.

Could not connect to any PC. Asked for help from Bookeen, had a reply a week later, by which time I had given up in frustration and returned it.

Bookeen Cybook Orizon

 

This Cybook is nice and light - lighter than a paperback book. With the SD card, you can carry many thousands of books right in your normal handbag. No more running out of things to read on the train. Unlike the Kindle, you are not tied to Amazon to...

I can't really think of any 'bad points'. There are extras that I would like to be able to purchase, like a case-with-a-light, as you can buy for the Kindle, but that is all.

Well designed and easy to use. Saves being locked into proprietary technology

Occasionally the library becomes corrupt on the SD card, but a quick on and off fixes that.

Touch screen is much better than button page turn as on the kindle

The touch screen sensitivity is not as positive as the Sony E Reader
