I have been reading on the Iliad for the past year and totally loved it. Only reason I no longer do is that I broke the screen through utter stupidity. I have now returned to using the Sony 500 and with the ability to format shift (legal where I live) my Microsoft lit books, I can now read pretty much anything I want in the Sony. The Sony certainly has the advantage on battery life. If I were to buy a new reader at the moment, I would seriously consider the cybook given it will read mobipocket, however the deal breaker for me is that in buying th unit from the cybook site, they want me to pay for it in Euro's rather than US dollars. In converting the price in Euro to AUD rather than USD to AUD it adds around $300 AUD to the price and I am not about to become prey to such price gouging. Out of the three at this time, my pick wold be the Sony and continue to purchase content in Lit and convert to LRF.
