At $375 for headphones, a charger, a case, and an SD card doesn't really seem like a bargain, even though the Cybook can read more formats (html being the biggie for me).

Sony comes with a case. I doubt that there is a person out there that doesn't have headphones and a 2 GB branded SD card can be had for less than $30.
I wouldn't moan about the price too much. Compared with the price that we in Europe are paying (in the UK's case, about US$509 for the bare reader) you're getting a damned good deal .
