These broken screen problems do not speak well for the Cybook. When you consider that the PS-505 has the same screen, I cannot but wonder if the difference between the Sony metal shell/chassis vs. the Cybook plastic shell is the major reason that folks are seeing Cybooks essentially self-destruct.
I was at a Borders yesterday and took another look at the PS-505, this time with about two months 'experience' with my Cybook. While I still do not like the page advance/back buttons on the Sony, it is does appear to be a much stiffer shell than the Cybook. Using reasonable pressure, I do not believe that the Sony shell showed any flexing. I know that the Cybook shell will flex. This makes me suspect that the slight flexing of the Cybook may be at the root of the problem. Kind of hard to prove, but that's where my observations are leading me.
