HarryT,
Great thread and am very interested in your views. Just bought an iLiad and my wife is thinking about a Sony reader. Marc(montsnmags) has also been very helpful over on
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27911
Some questions if I may?
1. How do you share (or port across) the books you have on the Sony with your new iLiad? Easy or hard for a relatively non-technical person?
2. Can you get more books on iLiad/Cybook than Sony? i.e. Mobipocket vs Sony?

The fact the the iLiad supports MobiPocket gives it access to a hugely wider range of commercial eBooks than are available for the Sony, of course.

3. Sony seems to be the cheapest of the lot..best value for money?
Price Comparison in Aus
iLiad AUD 900 (
www.dadirect.com)
CyBook AUD 600 (wwwdadirect.com)
Sony AUD 430 (converted from GBP 200) plus shipping
4. I'm worried that the video demo's of the Cybook are very amateur. It kind of lowers my condfidence in the company
5. Ease of use...which is best. For istance, I wish the ILiad could get more titles on the screen, had the name and Author and that and you could sort by Author. BTW I'm a e-book newbie so please no flaming if you can do these.
Anyhow, thanks for the great reviews.
