Bookeen announced that Adlibris, the leading Swedish Internet bookstore and Thalia, Germany's largest bookstore chain (with 300 book stores in Germany, Switzerland and Austria) will both launch its Cybook Odyssey e-readers in their book stores. This follows other partnerships in Europe with Virgain Megastore, Cultura, Decitre in France and La Feltrinelli in Italy.

The Odyssey is a 6" touch E Ink Pearl e-reader with a fast processor (a 800Mhz TI Cortex A8) and Bookeen's own HSIS technology (high-speed system that supports full-motion video and scrollable browsing). It also has Wi-Fi support.
