As the owner of both an iLiad and a CyBook I have to say that you are 100% right; the CyBook is a much better fiction reader. Being the size of a paperback book (in fact, EXACTLY the size of a standard PB, which I'm sure isn't a coincidence) it's easy to carry around everywhere with you. The iLiad is slightly too big for that. Another issue with the iLiad is its 45s boot time - double that of the Gen3; it's just long enough to be irritating, whereas the Gen3's boot time (about 20s) is, for me, short enough to be non-intrusive.

Not to mention that my Mum (an even more avid reader of books who I have no hope of convincing to go digital -she doesn't see the need or the point) is going out tomorrow to buy the entire Phillip Pullman Dark Materials trilogy tomorrow and is going to lend them to me when she's finished. I'm swapping with her the book that I'm reading now. Can't do that with ebooks...yet...

You can, actually. If you both have a Mobi device (Gen3 or iLiad), you can register up to 4 reading device to your account at the book store and share the books amongst those 4 devices.
