If you are in the US you will likely have to buy the Onyx from Germany, and pay a LOT.

Yes, I am in the US, so that is a negative against Onyx.

I picked up the Cybook Odyssey HD FL a couple months back and I think it's a solid device.
Thalia.de sells the Odyssey, but I don't know if they ship to destinations outside of Germany or the EU.

The Cybook is an option I was looking at, but they have absolutely no Odyssey's listed in the Bookeen shop right now (US). Nothing except the Orizon model. Now, supposedly they have a new release coming soon, so maybe that will change, but right now, nothing. And as far as I can tell, thalia does not ship to the US.

It seem like a really solid piece of kit. Mine's got a front light, which I never use and wi fi, which I also never use. But they were selling them without the light for about £30.

Yes, the Nook is still under consideration but they apparently have something new coming out soon (October) too. So I'll probably just see what happens over the next few weeks and then make a decision.
