and i must say that i love my cybook  |
I got my Cybook at Christmas last year and the Mobipocket support was a key decision point for me as well. I already had a fair sized library of Mobipocket ebooks which I was reading on my iPAQ. I wanted a larger screen, e-ink, and the ability to continue reading my DRM Mobipocket books as well as any multiformat ebooks I already had. The Cybook was an easy choice for me.
I love it so much that I bought a 2nd one and gave the first to Hubby. He has recently admitted that he won't be going back to his PDA for reading either.
