We’ve had many questions about the features of the Cybook Orizon, here’s a first look. The Cybook Orizon personalises the reading experience to the reader; choose from 12 different text sizes, change the font, and add your own favourite fonts.
Using the touch screen, you can highlight important passages, add bookmarks to make sure you don’t forget anything, or even add notes.

With the wifi connection, you’re never far from your next book: download it wherever and whenever you want. The Cybook Orizon’s extra-slim design slips easily into a bag or even a large pocket, for keeping up with your mobile lifestyle. Read in any situation, even in full sunlight, for more than 2 weeks on a single charge.
Coming soon: most likely at the end of next week, we’ll reveal the launch date and other key information, as well as opening pre-orders for the Cybook Orizon.
And, as always, join the discussion on facebook and twitter.

Yesterday I got to hold in my hands a real Cybook Orizon; after the mock-ups and prototypes it’s really exciting to see the final product really exist! We know you’ve been dying for some news and how impatient you are. So without further ado, in a world-wide sneak preview, the very first real photos (not 3D renders) of the Cybook Orizon:

Cybook Orizon Black

Cybook Orizon White
The two models have a bicolored case, with a black front and white back or the other way around.
It’s incredibly thin but really feels solid and robust, thanks to our reinforcement specifically to protect the screen. And the back of the case feels really nice to the touch; the black one has a velvety texture, and the white one has a glossy lacquer finish. The definitive dimensions are: width 4.9” (125,7mm), height 7.5” (189,49mm), and only 0.29” (7,6mm) thick, that’s incredibly thin! It weighs 8.6oz. and has a 6” screen, 600×800 pixels for a 167 dpi resolution, and 16-level greyscale.
The touchscreen is impressive: very sensitive, really fast, and since the touch layer is integrated in the screen there is no glare or distortion. There are some amazing touch features, we’ll be unveiling them soon and I think you’ll love them. First clue: I saw Google in a screen…
Not all the details are available yet but the good news is that as we get closer to launch I’ll be giving you more information right here, sometimes before it’s released anywhere else! And in fact we’ll be saving a few other special advantages for our faithful readers…
The Cybook Orizon adventure continues next week!

Hm… The paparazzi must be on to something. I’ve just received some photos of the Cybook Opus from an anonymous photographer. Looks like something is going on at Bookeen. What do you think? New photos for the Cybook Parade, or something else altogether? All speculations are welcome, feel free to share them in a comment…


A very original use for a Cybook Opus in this one…
