I don't know much about the ebookman, so can't really can't comment on it.

REB 1100
+ can load custom TTF fonts
+ can change to landscape orientation
+ tools for using it in linux available
- monochrome display
- second-hand only, battery life may be unpredictable
- no commercial books available
- limited HTML support

EBW 1150
+ grayscale screen
+ commercial ebooks available
+ better HTML support
+ available new, so no battery life worries
- no custom fonts
- no landscape mode
- linux support via WINE only

I myself prefer the REB1100, but that's because it's advantages for me outweigh its disadvantages. I find the ability to load custom fonts especially very nice -- you aren't stuck with the default fonts.

Hope that helps.
Can you please post a picture of a book with a custom font you preffer over the default one ? :-)

Thanks.
