re: Cybook being awkward
Again this is only based on appearances.. but personally, I don't like all of the small buttons on the sides of the device, as opposed to the front placement on the Sony.
It just seems like it would be very easy to just hit them from gripping the device or hit the wrong one if trying to operate it 'by feel' as oppose to turning it on its side every time you want to hit a button.
Perhaps I'm wrong about the accidental activation - that's one thing I'm curious about. But that is my primary concern about its ergonomics.
re: DRM
Basically I don't really approve of the concept of DRM, although I do understand why the industry usesit. I'd have less of an issue with a single standard for DRM, but all of the conflicting ones and no universal device bothers me - or to be able to register a single device with multiple 'DRMs' and have it recognized by all of them (similar to how you can register a single Mobi ID with multiple vendors).
As for circumventing DRM - I'm not really sure how I feel on this. Probably falls into the category of "I'd rather not have to do it".
Which is one reason I'm trying to understand a bit more on the formats and why I said this may well be what drives my ultimate decision of reader.
