Before the reviews of the Cybook started coming in, I was intending to get a "basic" version. However, I am now sold on the leather case. With the NAEB deal, for $25 above the basic price I get the case (a $39.95 "value") plus some other stuff which I could have bought locally but is nice to have. This isn't a deep discount, but it is the best available deal for US buyers.

Is it worth the extra cost over the Sony PRS-505? I think it certainly is to anyone who currently has a library of MobiPocket books. For others, in the US, the Sony may be the better buy, particularly if you are comfortable with the fact that your e-books from Sony may not be transferable to a new device when it comes time to retire this one.
