Harry, thanks and yes I understand text will be very limiting, and I'm not entirely sure I could live with it; given my reading matter, TOCs aren't a big deal for me, but the unformatted text could wear a bit thin, pretty fast. Mobipocket support was one of the major points in favour of the Cybook.
Moz, I can live with the slow page turns of an e-ink screen (don't like it, but I can live with it) - but it's the overall 'clunkiness' of the Sony I find hard to come to terms with in a piece of 21st-Century consumer electronics. If a Sony TV took as long to change channels as the Reader does to change books, they'd never sell one. And as you say, mediocre for menus and on-device file management...
Cheers, Peter.
