Mind made up

I found this site a week ago while searching for information the iLiad. Needless (perhaps) to say this has been the most informative site/forum on ebook readers I've stumbled upon!

Thanks to this forum I believe I'm making an informed decision: I'm going for the Sony PRS-505 !.

In the spirit of info sharing, so others may know my considerations:

Originally I was aiming for the iLiad, but the high price (almost triple the Sony), the size (too big to conveniently take along in my pocket) and the battery life in particular changed my mind...

Wrt to choosing between the cybook and the sony, the sony looks nicer and has a better button layout. Other than that, it's just tossing a coin... I've been changing my mind continuously the last few days (causing much stress and agony), so making the final decision will hopefully bring some rest (that is, until the device finally arrives!).

As a final note, even though I'm in Europe and thus might experience warranty issues, if it breaks I can buy a new one and still have spent less than I've otherwise would have buying an iLiad, so it's all relative... Also, it helps that Sony apparently announced they would bring the PRS-505 to Holland this year

So, thanks again everyone, I hope in time I can be as much of help as you all have been!
