An
extremely "marginal" one. Frankly, I notice no difference at all between my current Reader with 4 grey-scales and my iLiad with 16. The only people I suspect it might make a difference to are those who want to read comics.

Bookeen has a good reputation, and seems to be much more serious about e-reader software than Sony.

But, on the other hand, Sony are a major multinational corporation, whereas the average "man in the street" will have never heard of Bookeen. Everybody's heard of Sony and (I believe) that they have a reputation for producing high-quality products in most peoples' minds (yes, I know that some people will rave on about "rootkits", etc - let's not go there.)

Overall, I still like the Cybook because it will support a range of ebook formats and I think it will (eventually) give the best reading experience available on a 6" screen.

I agree with you. I think the decision to go with MobiPocket gives the CyBook the edge, software-wise.
