I really do not see an alternative reader to buy in Europe if you want a warranty that works without to much trouble. And I like the poilcy to support a lot of formats.

With amazon awfully quiet, the cybook is virtually my device of choice in the 6 inch camp. Not only for warranty and support (we still have to see about that ) but also formats suuport, and flexibility. On a 6 incher if you want to maintain compatibility and minimize conversion efforts, mobipocket is one of your best options. (until ePub support spreads that is)

With the new timer feature that Derek mentioned I guess we'll get a bit over a week of battery life. Far from Sony, but far from the iLiad as well.
Derek will correct me if I'm wrong but I think the cybook charges through USB.
Don't get me wrong 1 week is a very good BL, just not book-like enough.
For battery life there is a critical point (that AFAIK only Sony has hit) where you never actually run out of battery, 'cause the little you connect it to your USB (just for content) it's the little it needs to recharge.
