Ok - it's good to hear that the side buttons on the CyBook are not the issue I thought they were. I might still favor the Sony from a 'feel' stand point, but that might be because I've actually been able to hold it. The page turn buttons are naturally right by my finger as I grab it - but I'm sure I could get used to the 'bottom button' instead.
I'm also still a bit bothered by the idea of having no way to 'organize' a growing collection on the Cybook.. but I suppose I could manage that through software/on my main pc - and only load a few books at a time on the reader.
On the "format" issue - I guess it really depends on what I want to do with DRM.
IF I am willing to de-drm Mobi - it would seem to suggest getting the Sony as I can get all of the DRM Mobi context, as well as other DRM'd content - which might make it a bit more 'future proof'.
If I am not willing to break the drm - that probably implies that the Cybook is better for the current content - and I just hope that in the 2-5 years it takes for the 'format war' to die down, that readers become cheap enough to pick up a new one if needed.
Just two more questions I guess:
a) I know Calibre can do the format conversions and library management for the Sony. In addition to the conversions, can it also do the drm removal, or do I need mobidedrm for that as well?
b) Can Calibre work with a Cybook or just with an SD card? (or is there some equivalent software for Cybook)?
