The Bookeen Cybook is an odd bird. They are pitching it as an eBook reader, and with a 10-inch 800 by 600 pixel screen and the ability to read a variety of open eBook standards (PRC, PDB, DOC, HTML, RTF and TXT, although no PDF) it is probably better than using, say, another smaller PDA that uses Windows CE. That being said, it has at its heart only a 66MHz Motorola processor, a meager 48MB of total ram, and lots of out-of-place features like a built-in modem and a PCMCIA slot. It’s not quite a Tablet PC, but not a giant PDA either, with that crippled processor. Honestly, for $700, I’m not sure who they expect to sell these to. It’s like the Giant Print version of Reader’s Digest was magically transmuted into a Pocket PC.
