,----[ Quote ]
| None of this stops you from downloading DRM-
| free e-books, and here the news is more
| promising with the whole Project Gutenberg
| library and other gratis online sources at
| your fingertips. The Opus has 1GB of on-
| board storage which, Bookeen says, is enough
| for 1000 books. Not enough? There's a Micro
| SD card slot in the Opus' top edge.
