Thanks so much to everyone with your replies!

I looked at a couple of the iliads that are for sale in the flea market--and I do think they look great, but right now battery life really is the main concern.

Ok--forgive me for being dense here--and this should really it, I promise!

I think I'm leaning toward the sony--but just want to clarify something--it sounds like converting files to the sony format isn't too bad. I'm assuming the libprs500 only works with DRM-free books? Is there any way to remove the copy protection? I've been looking around some of the larger ebook stores--and most of them seem to have copy protected books...is this correct?

And one final question--I know pdfs are generally not good for ereaders--but if you buy an ebook in pdf format, would that work/be displayed legibly on either the sony ereader or the cybook?

Thanks so much, and this should really be it!
