I was thinking of buying a Cybook Gen 3 and have done all my research in that direction, however I have now heard that the Sony 505 may be released in the UK in April. I dont know much about the Sony ebook format, could someone tell me if for instance I can read this book, http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook28033.htm
which I would have bought in Mobipocket for the Cybook, on the Sony reader. I am using a Mac and dont really want to run windows in a virtual machine just to convert or download books. I know about libprs 500, but dont really know what it is capable of altogether.
