How do PocketBook and Bookeen firmwares compare?

Jellby · 09-26-2010, 12:44 PM

Could anyone post a comparison of the Bookeen (Cybook) and PocketBook firmwares? I have a Cybook Gen3 with the latest firmware, and I'd like to know what else can or can't be done with a PocketBook, in particular with reading ePUB books. For instance:

Does it have bookmarks?
Can it annotate?
Does it have some kind of dictionary support?
Can it use any TTF font?
Can it choose a default alignment (justified or not)?
Can it change margins?
Does support smallcaps?
Can it "zoom" on pictures (like select an image and have it displayed full-screen)?
Can it search for text?
Does it support multilevel TOC?
Does it mark where the current "chapter" ends in any way?
...
What else?

Yes to the following:

Does it have bookmarks?
Can it annotate?
Does it have some kind of dictionary support?
Can it use any TTF font?
Can it choose a default alignment (justified or not)?
Can it change margins?
Can it search for text?
Does it mark where the current "chapter" ends in any way?

Untested by me:

Does support smallcaps?
Can it "zoom" on pictures (like select an image and have it displayed full-screen)?
Does it support multilevel TOC?
