I have had a Cybook and an eBookwise for 5 months. The Cybook is heavy, very short battery life, the USB adapter gave out after two months and you have to look directly at the screen to read. (I have these devices for reading, not writing about as I am doing now-duh!). The eBookwise is the perfect size, light and easy to read. Add to that a 20 hour battery life and it is a no brainer for me. There is nothing complicated about getting started either. At first I worried about the availability of books but with the Librarian this is no problem - btw, I love Blackmask Online - thousands of free books. I work and am in my car a lot and when sitting somewhere waiting on an appointment I pull out my eBookwise and enjoy. The eBookwise site is great also. This sounds like a commercial and, if so, fine - I think this thing is great. I recommend it highly!
