Cybook Orizon

The Cybook Orizon was the 4th generation of eBook reader made by Bookeen.

Summary

The Cybook Orizon is the 3rd device I worked on when I was working for Bookeen. It was the first device we released that use both a touch-screen and Wifi.

The device hardware was designed by a taiwanese ODM, external appearance made specifically for us and all the software running on the device was made or adapted in house.

It used a Samsung s3c2416 SoC with a non e-ink e-paper screen (Sipix) with its corresponding controller, a touch screen, a tilt sensor (mecanical) and Wi-Fi
