Ebook Bundle: Corrected file for “Der Freigeist”

Friday, February 17th, 2012

A sharp-eyed reader alerted us that there was a problem with the formatting in one of the free books provided in our ebook bundles, “Der Freigeist” by Gotthold Lessing.

We’ve corrected the file and we’re happy to provide it here, download it by clicking on the link below. To read the book, just edit the file name to remove the .zip extension, so the file ends in “.epub”, before loading it on your Cybook.

Der Freigeist_Lessing.epub

Thanks very much to the Bookeener who let us know about this so we could correct it.

Happy reading,

Bookeen Team

Mysterious Photos from an Anonymous Paparazzo

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

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…
