Cybook Opus (CYBPE10W)

There is a new kid on the block - Bookeen Cybook Opus (CYBPE10W).

It's the lighter and smaller (4" x 3" - 101mm x 76mm vs Gen3's 4.8" x 3.6" - 122mm x 91mm) brother of well-known Cybook Gen3.

The screen is smaller, but the pixel size is the same, which means there is higher DPI (200 vs 166 dpi).

It still does grok HTML, TXT and PDF, but don't support Palm-based text formats (PRC and PalmDoc), whose fell into oblivion with marginalization of Palm platform. Bad luck for Palm users with tons of eBooks in old format.

Opus also dropped the support of audio playback, which isn't the must-have feature for hardcore readers.

The SD card slot is replaced by microSD card slot. The Opus have more memory and 2x faster CPU, 2x mode RAM and much bigger internat datastore for eBooks (1GB vs 64MB).

It's also cheaper model and cost only €250 (€30 less than smallest Cybook Gen3).
