What is your opinion? How do you compare them?

I like the Sony better. It's built better and easier to use. It has two sets of page turning buttons, one set on the right side and one set on the front lower left. It also goes directly to the last page you were on when you turn the reader on, unlike the Cybook that makes you go through several pages to get back to the last page read. You can also read while charging if you use the optional charger (so they advertise, I ordered the charger but I haven't received it yet). The down side is there is no dictionary support and you're tied to Sony book store for DRM books.
I like the CyBook for use with MobiPocket books and dictionary support, but I don't like the cheap construction. Also Bookeen has been very unresponsive. I've sent them several emails and haven't received any answers. (I haven't had reason to email Sony so I don't know if they are any better at responding)
