PRS505 or Cybook

I am considering getting a reader myself but I, like many before and likely after me, am in dubio. Why? There are a few options I can take, being in Europe.

1) I order a PRS505 through ebay to get it in Europe.
2) I buy a Cybook. No hassle.
3) I buy an iRex.

As always though, there are considerations that are pro's and con's for each. First and most important it .. price.

The iRex is simply too much money and can do too much for my needs. No deal.
The Cybook does what I need, is easily obtainable and costs 350. High but .. maybe.
The PRS, through ebay vendors, costs 230 euro without shipping expenses. But shipping expenses and a european adapter will need to be added to the price. I am not sure about these.

And then you come down to getting books on it easily/same quality. Do the Cybook and PRS have the same reading experience & the same ease of getting books onto the device (for europian people)?
