That's good info about the cybook though!  A few weeks is definitely no big deal.
What about book avalability though? With the sony, how locked into their store are you (assuming you don't want to do a lot of file converting). Would the cybook have a wider range of books?

There are some very successful conversion routines available for the Sony that make excellent books. libprs500 can be set up to just do canned conversions. All the ones posted at this site were converted from something else but if you just want to buy books you will find mobipocket and Kindle has an edge. Kindle is definitely the lead on current releases but not so much in older ones but places like Fictionwise offers good choices in multiple formats.
You should decide the format and availability based on what you like to read. Our wiki has listings for many eBook stores and free eBooks. If you like library checkout then our wiki has those too and you will likely want a Cybook for that or the more expensive iLiad.
