My Cybook Opus Ebook Reader: Adventures of a New User

This book tells the author's experience in selecting, buying and using a Bookeen Cybook Opus ebook reading device. The Opus is a popular compact device manufactured in France by Bookeen. It features a 5" e-ink display and 1 GB of storage for ebooks and documents.

My Cybook Opus Ebook Reader is a sort of diary of a technically savvy user new to ebooks who learns about the Opus and digital reading. The book covers some features of the device hardware and operation such as battery charging and power management, upgrading the firmware, managing and reading digital books, and more. Like a product review, it tells personal impressions, insights, frustrations and usage tips. It is not, however, an instruction manual or an introductory guide.
