Please help me rationalize my purchase decision while I wait! |
You can most certainly wait and order from NAEB! (Who am I kidding? We'd *love* to have you order from us!) Be forewarned that there will be a wait from the time of order - we've been told it will be about four weeks. (Damn! No Christmas gift orders!)
If your selection of palm ebooks is *NOT* in a DRM'd pdb file, such as the ones created by eReader for sale on their site, you can just drop them onto your Cybook and read them. I know this to be true as I've taken the 'Multiformat' eReader books for sale through Fictionwise and read them on my Cybook.
Yes, *I* believe the Cybook is far superior to the Sony PRS because I can get a large selection of novels - right now - that I cannot get through Sony. (Other than that, they're about the same.)
As for early-device hardware problems... well, these things happen, but Bookeen is being quite prompt about replacing those units.
We hope there won't be any bugs, but let's face facts, Bookeen is working hard to upgrade their features-list and bugs may creep in. But Bookeen is beign quite good about fixing them.
Hope this helps.
