I'm wondering how open the cybook will be to 3rd party developers. I love the iLiad for it's large display, wacom touchscreen, and most of all, it's open operating system. With enough work, I can run just about any linux application on the iLiad. While I know that without a touch scree, the Cybook will have a much more limited capacity, I still think that there could be potential. I'd love to have the format support of something like FBReader, with the battery life of the Sony reader.
