What is it:
Low-cost ebook reader

Typical price:
£269

We like:
Great screen; cheaper than its rivals; small and light

We don't like:
Non-standard headphone socket; flat menu structure

The judgement:
The Cybook impresses with its relatively low price and great quality screen. There's room for improvement, however, as the eBook navigation and library functionality are not as good as those of its rivals.
