That's too bad about the slow page turns I've had a look at the libprs500 tools and am impressed... from a quick scan it looks like nice clean code!

I like the Cybook too since its the same size and even a bit lighter, but the page turn button is on the wrong side for me since I hold books with my left hand. I guess maybe I could read in landscape mode, but I'm skeptical about the weight distribution.

Looks like I'll limp along with my Palm until the next generation of Sony reader comes out (hopefully with a faster CPU too; I'd trade speed over battery life any day since slow graphics/resizing/rendering causes enough frustration to make reading unpleasant)
