Report as requested
I got back from Chicago earlier this week and, as anticipated, had zero problems traveling with the Cybook.
While going through the security line, I tucked it into the laptop sleeve (since the laptop was in a tray). At PHL the TSA screener put my bag through the scanner twice--he was very polite, even nice, and told me he was turning it over to put it through again. It was a combination suitcase/laptop rolling bag so it had a lot of layers to see through, I guess. No problems.
At MDW (Chicago Midway), I went through at rush hour in the "casual traveler" lane and again, no issues.
I did tatting till we got in the air, and then when electronic devices were permitted, read my Cybook. On the flight home, the woman in the seat next to me asked about the Cybook, so I showed it off. Interestingly, I was attending a geeky conference with Internet professionals and frequently took out the Cybook to read during breaks, and not one person asked me about it. Saw no other reading devices there; lots of laptops and iPhones, though. (I didn't even really realize that until after it was over. Almost every time I read the Cybook in public some Joe Q. Public type stops to ask about it. There's a metric for you to think about.) No Eee-type laptops, either, which surprised me, though I saw one really tiny Sony VAIO and a Fujitsu Lifebook.
On the way out I had the row to myself so I thought you might like to see a photo of my Cybook at 30,000 feet! Since my tatting came up in the thread, I also included it in the photo.
