Does the CyBook have any clear advantages that don't relate to say, an easier to buy format? As most of what I've seen relates to that which isn't a concern of mine as the books I want to get through are all available for free.
The following are what I believe to be present on the Cybook, but either not present or require a lot of extra work on the Sony. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Multiple dictionary support.
Font support.
Very easy RSS feed support. I just plug mine in now and it automatically sticks BBC news, CNN, Daily Record sports pages, Time straight on there. Free. All I needed to do was give the URLs to the Mobipocket software.
If we're comparing the 200 quid 505 to the 280 quid Gen3 then the case with the Gen3 is superior - although nobody has yet said the 505 case is anything but perfectly sufficient.
HTML support.
