I'm a long-time lurker and first time poster on here, so be gentle!
I've been weighing up which e-ink reader to buy (I'm in the UK). I currently read on my PDA, but want a dedicated reader. I've finally managed to de-drm Mobipocket ebooks, which has freed my choice up a bit.
I've narrowed my decision down to either the Cybook or the Sony PRS-505. I've read everything I can find on both devices and gone through countless other similar threads on the forum, but I'm still unsure. My head says that the Sony does everything I want and I think it will have more mainstream support in the long-run (whether this is a good thing, I don't know!), but I actually much prefer the looks of the Cybook and the fact that the library shows the cover of the books (it's a small thing, but it's something I like) - not to mention the fact that I can get quite a few Mobipocket ebooks with the £30 I'd save on the price.
Now, the problem comes that a lot of the books I want to read are only available as epub files (DRM infested
), which makes my choice a lot harder - do I wait and see if Bookeen release epub support for the Cybook or do I get the Sony and have the problem solved?
I just can't work out which would be best (this will be a long-term investment and I don't intend to buy another pbook again). Any opinions, help, advice, experience, etc would be greatly appreciated as the wall I keep banging my head against is starting to give way!
