I guess what is REALLY important now is content.
Sony has it's connect store and the Cybook has mobipocket support. I guess connect is more customer-friendly right now since it offers an iTunes like approach with a central store where you get all there is to get.
Mobipocket might just come out ahead, depending on...the Kindle. If Amazon really puts it's weight behind the Kindle AND goes with mobipocket as a main format (that would make sense, but you never know) then we could be looking at a real upswing for Mobipocket formatted books and also the related infrastructure.
The device as such is inferior to the Sony Reader, especially when it comes to battery life. I have no idea how far they might be able to improve on that, but as of now, the Cybook can't really offer anything special there. Vizplex was an advantage fro the Cybook, but the new Sony Reader also has that, so no advantage there.
The Cybook can read more formats. That's it actually, at least from my perspective.
