Correction about “updates are being worked on”. Unfortunately, the makers of Cybook Gen3 have abandoned this product while continuing to promise ‘folder’ support and alternative Digitial Rights provision. For four months, ‘epub’ and ‘folders’ have been promised “in a few weeks”.

This leaves Cybook Gen3 on outdated firmware, dependent on DRM circumvention for reasonable access to purchased eBooks.

I have this reader and love it. Less clumsy than the Sony, it is only let down by not being able to organise books in folders – though I believe updates are being worked on. You can do pretty much any function with the one key.
Reasonably priced, but only available online in the UK, so far.
