Now I'm faced with the decision of staying with the Cybook or canceling my order with Bookeen and going to BestBuy and purchase a Sony ebook reader and try to get it to work with a Mac for both DRM and non-DRM ebooks. :|
Sony's reader works the exact same way as the Cybook. It mounts as a drive on your Mac and you just drag and drop the files you want. If you want DRM, you will NEED to use Windows. Same thing goes for the Cybook. They don't have a Mac MobiWhatever client.

I live in Canada. Sony doesn't sell their reader here (idiots). If I had the opportunity, I would have gotten the Sony from day one. The Cybook is the 2nd best choice overall, in my opinion.

The following message was recently posted on the Bookeen web page.

------
Due to continuing heavy customer demand, the Cybook Gen3 is sold out again. Because orders are prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis, please order now to reserve your place in line. We will e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information.
Please note that in all cases your Cybook Gen3 will not arrive before early 2008 and that your credit card will be charged upon order.

I'm REALLY hoping that this is for current orders, and not past orders and for people like us who have ordered at the beginning of December. If this is true, then geez, I don't know what to do. (Anyone want to help me smuggle in a Sony reader? :-P)
