I have a Cybook & A Sony and the SONY is more sturdy . Its 3 ounces heavier. But I read both in cases. I bought a leather case for the Cybook from the Bookeen site. Very nice. With a case for the Cybook and the SONY case being very light , personally they feel to me like they weigh the same, maybe a little lighter for the Cybook.

The Sony's buttons are nicer. They are on both sides depending on what hand you would like to use. Since you are in the UK, and depending on what you would like to buy for it, I would recommend the Cybook over the SONY because unlike the US you wouldn't have acccess to the SONY bookstore and Waterstones is just selling Adobe ebooks for it. Thats fine for books you get free at the library, but I can't imagine buying books in that format. But that's me and maybe its not a problem for you. Having a device that gives you access to all the mobi drm books seems like a better deal. I don't know if Waterstones will have SONY formatted books down the road or not. Its a good format and adobe just seems a pain to me.
