Until then I think I'll get a little one to tide me over. It seems it's between the Cybook and the Sony Reader. Are there any reasons to go with the Sony reader besides pictures and price?

Some reasons to go with the 505 vs. the Gen3....
The Sony has better conversion tools overall. pdflrf, libprs500, and Book Designer. I know Book Designer also outputs Mobi format, but it does a better job with LRF output. The 505 is cheaper and since you plan on getting another eink device later on, you'll be spending less money now only to replace it later with something else. There are more free LRF format book here then any of the other formats.
If you want to make sure that any of the books you purchase now can still be read on your future device, you can purchase in MS Reader, strip the DRM, use lit2lrf to convert and you will have the DRM free LIT to convert to the new device if you want to use it to read your books.
