> 2) Memory capacity. Sony seems to be better here. Is the difference big? How many books can you have on Cybook?
As a normal book will probably be somewhere between half & three quarters of a MB, either will be able to hold plenty of books, but you'd probably not want to hold more than a few score at a time, as neither's indexes work particulalry well when applied to hundreds of books.
> 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?
For both, there are tools (as I understand that Kovid's libprs500 tools now have a module that writes to 'Cybook-format'?) that let you easily convert from other formats into the devices 'native' formats. There's also a number of retailers that sell in multiple formats, so I'd not view that as being any strong indication either way.
> Any other thoughts?
Just back to price vs functionality. e.g.
Sony: Cheaper, multiple buttons (easy to hold/use one-handled/left handed, etc).
Cybook: Warranty, dictionary, easy to add different fonts
