I have one. It's a good device let down by utterly terrible support and buggy firmware.
I still use mine daily but I wouldn't buy any Bookeen product again and I suggest you look somewhere else to spend your money.

Try the forum at www.mobileread.com. It's probably the most active ereader forum on the net and there is plenty of information and helpful folk there to point you in the right direction.

It took six months but yes, I am pleased to say they have. I've had the new firmware for a couple of weeks now and it seems to be working great. In it's current state the Cybook Opus is a good buy.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I am going to get one. I am planning on using it to help me study for a standardized test, for which I have book in the PDF format. How has your experience with PDF files been?

Here is an example of the type of PDF's I will be using: www.becker.com­/accounting­/cpaexamreview­/students­/2...

I am worried about spending the money and finding out that it will not be useful for the lay out of my PDF files that I will be reading. Any more insight you have would be quite helpful!

PDFs can be a mixed bag on eBook readers. Before buying I would ask around at the forums here: www.mobileread.com. Good bunch of people who spend far too much time talking about eBooks - they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Yea I actually was searching around the earlier based on you previous post from a few months a go. I think I will just ask in the forum because it is hard to find exactly what I am looking for by just searching through the threads. Thanks for your guidance!
