Hi Mindy,
I own a cybook and find that it does all i need to do. A lot of bought books come in the mobipocket format and if they don't it is really easy to convert them using ABC and then Mobicreator (both free). Most of the reader software works about the same, there's not much else you can do with a book aprt from turn pages, bookmark nd jump to pages! Mobipocket has the benefit of an embedded dictionary so if this is a feature you like i would recommend mobipocket. I don't see why the Litebook wouldn't be able to have non-DRM formats as the cybook certainly does it just doesn't have other DRM software such as ereader etc. They all (cybook, mentor, litebook, eb1200) have the same basic outward design so this is not really an issue either. I would wait if i was you and buy the litebook as the biggest difference i have found is that the cybook is so much more expensive, US$350, AU$570 especially if you live outside the usa as bookeen will only sell with the european price and the exchange rate is disastrous! WOW that was a bit long winded wasn't it. ANyway hope it helps,
Cheers, Gaby
