It's not like you're going to swap in completely new fonts every other day (even though you could with the guide), so I don't see much benefit from the Cybook in this regard.
One additional benefit of the CyBook's font handling is that it has proper support for font families - ie one gets "real" italic and bold fonts, rather than the Sony's synthesised italics. I would consider that to be a significant benefit; others, of course, may not.
