Interesting that your experience is that the Sony is better than the Cybook - I was hoping that the Cybook, being a more recent device, would be a bit slicker in operation - oh well!

To clarify - it's the
library system of the CyBook that is more primitive than that of the Sony (although a new "folder view" has been promised for the next firmware release of the CyBook). As a
book reader, I think personally that the CyBook has the edge, with its support for MobiPocket, ability to load any font that you wish on the machine, and dictionary lookup. That's why I replaced my Sony with a CyBook, and why I've just replaced my original CyBook with the new model.
It's no problem having a few dozen - a hundred even - books on either machine, but it's best to have your book "library" on a PC and simply store your current (and near future) reading matter on the book reader.
