IT Reviews have published a review of the Bookeen Cybook Opus 2010 Edition eReader. 'The chassis and general features are the same as in the original Cybook Opus. Some will find the screen a bit small. At 5-inches it is smaller than the pages of most paperback books. The 600 x 800 pixels on offer deliver clarity for the written word, though, and the small screen is an indication of small overall size: 151 x 108 x 10mm and 150g. This is one ereader that will fit into some larger pockets, though if you put it inside the faux leather case that is supplied with it the size does, quite obviously, grow.'

Reg Hardware have published a review of the Bookeen Cybook Opus e-book reader 2010 edition. 'Less than a year after its initial release French e-reader maker Bookeen has released an updated version of its Cybook Opus e-book reader, reviewed last year. The most obvious change, but fairly irrelevant, is the new range of seven colours, instead of just plain white. Colour schemes aside, the important upgrade is the new firmware which Cybook calls Boo Reader. The main advantages of this new fimware is speed. Push the power button and the Opus springs to life in seconds, making it the fastest booting e-book reader I have come across. Menu and page transitions also appear just a shade faster than before, as does the accelerometer's triggering to flip between landscape and portrait viewing.'

Bit-Tech have published a review of the Cybook Opus eBook reader. 'Getting down to the specifics, the Cybook Opus is small, measuring just 108 x 10 x 151mm, meaning you can just about squeeze it into a back pocket. The choice of lightweight plastic over steel means it weighs only 150g too, so you aren't going to strain a muscle holding it up to read either. In fact, you can hold it quite comfortably in one hand - something that's not true of other more popular e-ink readers. Unfortunately, it isn't all good news and no matter how much we like the size and shape of the Opus it's hard to get away from the frustrating combination of high price and low build quality.'

PC Advisor have published their review of the Bookeen Cybook Opus eReader. 'Available in an array of colours, and weighing just 150g and measuring less than 1cm thick, the Bookeen Cybook Opus wrests the e-reader portability crown from the Sony Reader Pocket Edition; unfortunately, its £199 price tag is a bit larger. And despite its appealing design, the Cybook Opus falls short on features that you'd get at a somewhat higher price on the Amazon Kindle 2 or (for that matter) on the Barnes and Noble Nook.'

IT Reviews have published a review of the Bookeen Cybook Opus eBook reader. 'Unlike some ereaders, the Cybook Opus does not play music files. Those who like to listen to tunes while they read will thus need to resort to a separate music player. The good news on that front is that the battery is entirely dedicated to presenting you with text to read, and the E-Ink based screen is very energy efficient. A full charge should keep you going for 8,000 page turns. You charge the battery via miniUSB and it'll charge while connected to your PC or the mains. We really like the fact that you can replace the battery, as it sits behind a removable backplate.'

Gear Diary have published a review of the Bookeen Cybook Gen 3 digital reader. 'It's very thin, significantly thinner than the Kindle and somewhat smaller than the Camangi Webstation. The face of it is very sparse, with only a d-pad and the Bookeen logo. Menu, back, music and delete buttons are located along the lower left spine, which I found to be a rather inconvenient location. I accidentally hit the wrong button constantly, and almost deleted a few books when I was aiming for the menu key. There is no touchscreen or keyboard, the whole device is view-only.'
