Question one last push - gen3 or prs-505

Hi Guys,

so i have spent 2 days looking around the net at various reviews and comparisons and forum posts about the various ebook readers.

i narrowed my choice down based on reviews and price and came up with these 2

Cybook Gen3 - £180
Sony PRS-505 - £200

as you can see there isnt much price differnce, and although £180-£200 is not a particulary large amount of money, it is enough to make me wary, and its 20+ books on amazon in paper format.

so it would be great if someone who has/had both at some point to give me the final push

couple of things to note

PRS-505
- i like the stylish design
- i like that its sony
- i like what ive read about refresh time ect
- i'm not bothered if i have to convert a pdf

Gen3
- i like the design
- i like that it has mobipocket support
- i like what ive read about refresh time ect
- i'm not bothered if i have to convert a pdf


as you can see there pretty even matched and im just bouncing back and forth between the two.

i really like them both, so my real question is

which is the best to read with?
which feels the best in hand (comfortable)

and anything else you think will tip me over the edge and finally take the plunge

thanks guys for all the help thus far,

RavenLife

p.s,

dont know if this makes any differnce, but i would have a large selection of books on there, probably a couple of hundred, once i build up my ebook supply
