Editors rating: 8.0

Verdict

Compact, lightweight and usable, the Cybook Gen3 is currently the best e-book reader on the UK market. It could, however, still benefit from a few tweaks.

Typical price

£ 315

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
