Bookeen Cybook Odyssey

Bookeen is back in black with the Cybook Odyssey ebook reader. But is its tale worth telling?

Highly attractive design ; Excellent build ; Inbuilt book store little use for UK readers

Poor multi-touch implementation ; No English dictionary (yet) ; Limited online skills

The Cybook Odyssey loses out to the Kindle here, but gains back some cred with its expandable memory and 3.5mm headphone jack. These have been left out of Amazon's latest ereader - judged of little use in a single-function device - but some people will...

Bookeen Cybook Odyssey review

Can this touch-ready eBook give the Kindle a run for its money?

Touch screen ; Good E-Ink display ; Wi-Fi connection ; MicroSD

Not as slick as Amazon's eBook ; Expensive

Overall it's a good device, though not quite as slick as the Kindle. It's also quite expensive.

Bookeen Cybook Odyssey HD Frontlight review

Great backlight and screen quality, but it's more expensive than rivals and its accelerometer and capacitive screen hinder more than help

Bookeen Cybook Odyssey review

Despite some unusual features, this eReader is too expensive to recommend over its very competent rivals

Iriver Story HD review

The Story HD's high-resolution screen and clear interface aren't enough to make up for the lack of Wi-Fi or a built-in eBook store at this price

REVIEW: Bookeen Cybook Odyssey HD FrontLight eReader

The Cybook Odyssey HD FrontLight sees Bookeen add a backlight and an improved screen resolution to the Cybook Odyssey eReader. But has the company fixed the issues that dragged down the last model, and can the HD FrontLight prove itself to be anything...

The Bookeen Cybook Odyssey HD FrontLight was a great opportunity for Bookeen to right the mistakes made with preceding eReader, the Cybook Odyssey. However, it's sadly pretty much the same eReader as last time with a light built-in instead. Like the...

REVIEW: Bookeen Cybook Odyssey touchscreen eReader

Looking for a digital page-turner but don't like the sound of Amazon's Kindle or a pricey tablet device? Bookeen's Cybook Odyssey boasts an E-Ink screen, touchscreen controls and one of the nicest designs we've ever seen for an eReader. But does it...

The Bookeen Cybook Odyssey isn't a bad eBook reader. It's got a superb industrial design, a screen as readable as any on the market and a fast processor that sees all menus and page turns fly along at a good pace. The problem is, it makes too many...
