The Cybook and the dust issue: Good news
Remember one of the little nits I had about the Cybook? I noted that aRMiTaG3, author of a generally pro-Cybook review, worried that dust particles might show up under the screen of the e-book reader. He had an easy fix anyway–keeping the stylus in place. Now, Michael Dahan at Bookeen, the company selling the Cybook, has even better news in an email to me:
1) For the time being the dust problem has been reported by only one person (Sorry Armitag for this issue).2) We checked all our screens before shipments and we never noticed any kind of dust under the screen.
3) None of our other customers have complained about this kind of problem.
Thanks, Michael! I hope that people will spread the word. Unless I hear otherwise–dust reports should go to dr@teleread.org–it would appear we Cybook users can sweep away our concerns and enjoy that ten-inch screen.
