About the book
The book tells the author’s experience in selecting, buying and using a Cybook Opus ebook reading device. The Opus is a popular digital reader manufactured by BOOKEEN. These devices are used for reading electronic books or e-books, i.e. publications in digital form suitable for reading on computers and other digital devices.
This work, written from the point of view of a technically savvy user with no prior experience with ebooks, covers some topics about Opus features, operation and maintenance. It is a sort of user diary, a collection of notes of a user learning about the device and ebooks. It is not a comprehensive usage manual or an introductory guide.

My 3 year old Gen3, the 1st model offered, quit. So having (1) opus for Epub I quickly purchased a 2nd and flashed it to Mobilepocket. That makes (9) e-readers, working and (1) for e_reader heaven. The Gen 3 and Opus use the same battery, so that leaves me a backup battery,
