Cybook Gen3 vs. Sony Reader 505

I am about to buy my first e-book reader and I am considering Cybook and Sony (living in Europe, Kindle is no option).

After reading some of the posts here, I have almost made up my mind. Cybook seems to be the best option for me. I have, however, several doubts about it. Perhaps you can help me.

1) The infamous page changing button. It may seem a small issue, but, on the other hand, it is a hardware part you are using all the time. Is it really that bad? Is Sony much better? Is it worth the hassle?

2) Memory capacity. Sony seems to be better here. Is the difference big? How many books can you have on Cybook?

3) E-books available. I understand there are lots of free e-books, but what about new titles, the ones you have to buy? I'm especially into for SF and fantasy... which device is better for getting new titles from these genres? Ability to read manga is also welcome.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
