Just circumstances. I bought the Sony with a view to utilising it whilst I am in Baghdad, but I did not really appreciate the restrictions on purchasing books outside the US, let alone from Australia, as well as the antiquated Sony Bookstore and its inability to work through a proxy server. I then Bought the Bookeen Cybook to overcome these problems. I was toying with the notion of the Iliad at the same time, but could not see the reason for the almost double price, after seeing the review on this thread I decided to buy it, for all those features that I was unaware off.
I can also now keep my general fiction reader on the Bookeen and if it gets trashed whilst I am over here, I have a good backup unit left that can read Mobipocket books
Cheers
John
