Every online retailer has been sold out of Cybooks for so long that I haven't even tried to procure one, but it looks like BooksOnBoard has the <a href="http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?BODY=viewproduct&PRODUCT=5" rel="nofollow">Cybook</a> in stock now. I'm going to get one either way, because I can always upgrade the firmware (and I want to grab one while it's hot) but I wanted to know.

Re the changed site. Toward the bottom of <a href="http://www.teleread.org" rel="nofollow">Bookeen's home page</a>, you'll currently see "Enter your email address" and a form---if your browser is working correctly. I doubt that Bookeen is scamming anyone---this is a reputable company. My guess is that the e-paper-based machine will appear in the next few months. Thanks. David Hi, Doc. Re the changed site.

I went the the Cybook site and it doesn't even appear to be being sold yet. There was no information, just a place to put in an email to get info. This seems more like a scam to me.
