If you're a relatively infrequent reader (say a couple of reading sessions a day), the CyBook is likely to have a longer time between charges than the Sony because it's not draining the battery between uses.
I agree

I think new prs-505 can be switched off completely too? But it take 40 seconds or 1 minute to start ...how long does it take CyBook to start?
