Slim design / good finish, Organisation options for your library, Easy to use, WiFi connectivity, 150 books preloaded
Screen is less contrasted than ebooks that use EInk, No protective cover supplied, No 3G unlike the Kindle, No direct home access button
The Bookeen Cybook Orizon is a good alternative. Though it doesn't have 3G connectivity, this Wi-Fi, elegant, well-finished, simple-to-use e-reader is a reliable e-book solution. However, it doesn't have the same quality display as the Sony Reader....
Bookeen has tried too hard to bridge the gap between e-book readers and tablets. As nice a reader as the Orizon is, the result is a gadget with unnecessary touchscreen text that has pushed up the price too far. ® More E-book ReadersAmazon Kindle 3Sony...
Abstract: Just like the tablet market, e-readers are quickly becoming ten-a-penny down at your local tech store. Kindle still rules the roost thanks to its neat web connectivity options and clear display, while thanks to their touchscreen controls. Looking to...
Ultimately the lack of a good integrated bookstore and a reasonably speedy browser made the Bookeen Cybook Orizon a non-starter for me. If you're going to invest in a Wi-Fi-equipped e-reader, the shopping procedure shouldn't send you scurrying for a U...
Excellent text options: seven fonts, 12 sizes, Skinny, lightweight e-reader, Intuitive touchscreen and Wi-Fi support
Built-in browser is painfully slow, Expensive, No integrated U.S. bookstore
The Bookeen Cybook Orizon boasts a first-rate touchscreen e-paper display, but its Wi-Fi connectivity, browser, and integrated bookstore need a makeover for it to succeed. Bookeen Cybook Orizon: Touchscreen Ebook Reader Needs Better Web Access Bookeen...
Comes with a protective sleeve Pearly finish is quite attractive Wi-Fi Touchscreen enables note-taking 150 free ebooks included Very crisp screen Very slim and lightweight
Could double as a mirror Pricey Motion sensor a shade too sensitive No audio support Book store app has books in French and German only A good percentage of the 150 included ebooks are in French or German No dictionary
The Cybook Orizon feels good, works well and looks the business. The price tag is probably going to be the sticking point for most; however, if you are looking for a touchscreen reader, it is most certainly worth a look....

Finesse de l'appareil / finition, Options d'organisation de la bibliothèque, Simple à utiliser, Connecté en Wi-Fi, 150 livres préchargés / formats supportés
Ecran moins contrasté que les ebooks sous technologie e-Ink, Pas de housse de protection fournie, Pas de puce 3G comme le Kindle ou Fnacbook, Manque une touche d'accès direct à l'accueil
La Cybook Orizon est une bonne alternative au Fnacbook, qui conserve toutefois l'avantage d'être 3G. Wi-Fi, élégante, bien finie, simple à utiliser, cette liseuse est un support de lecture fiable, qui ne bénéficie toutefois pas de la qualité d'affichag...
