I wish there was a screenshot (sreen bitmap dump) program for the Cybook, since that would allow non-owners to get a clearer picture of which device wins the "maximum text per page" race. For example, here are my screenshots of the Kindle in reading mode.

In any case, based on the photo's I have seen, the Cybook uses a large line spacing (as does the Kindle and the iLiad's MobiPocket Reader) and this is typically more important than the margin size in reducing the per page content. On the Cybook, line spacing might be effected by the font used (and it might be possible to modify a font to reduce the line spacing - since you know it will only be used in this one application). Also, some fonts are less wide (more characters per line) than others.
