I JUST ORDERED A CYBOOK GEN 3 OFF WHSMITH! (GBP 176)
*rapidly breathing in and out*
I was indecisive over buying either the Sony prs-505 or the Cybook, and finally jumped the fence. I'm still a bit unsure on whether or not I've made the right decision. I finally chose the Cybook over Sony because although its not as slick (you have got to admit that the Sony looks pretty damn cool), it supports Mobi which looks much better on an ereader than a pdf file. Plus, I didn't want to continuously have to do conversions ...
I just need a few clarifications though -
1) Does the difference of 4 gray scales make much of a difference?? I saw a youtube video comparing the prs-500 and prs-505 and the latter had better contrast. But, the prs-500 didn't have a Vizplex screen apparently? So, honestly speaking, is there a difference?!
2) I've read a few contradictory reviews about the battery life. Can it last 8000 page turns (which is more than the Sony) or does it in fact last less?
3) I have a lot of ebooks, and when I say a lot - I really mean over a 1000 ebooks. I know I won't be able to put all on it, and I wouldn't want to anyway, but just how many can I put in my Cybook without it being utterly slow? Plus, how does this effect browsing for books? There is no file system for the Cybook as of yet, right? whereas Sony has 'Collections' which is some sort of file/folder organization for books.
Oh, and another reason I chose Cybook over Sony - its cheaper and has worldwide warranty. Which is good seeing as I spend half my time in Hungary, and the other half in the UK.
Please please reassure me on my choice!!! (I saw another youtube video, and the person did NOT sound like he was happy with his purchase!)
