Just look at the time delays in the Bookeen Cybook firmware updates - but at least (with a minimum of external software support to strip DRM from eReader and Mobi ebooks) the Cybook support for Mobi allows for a vast supply of ebooks.

Thanks, I'm headed for that link now. I'm open to more suggestions, it's just that the sheer ease of conversion on the Foxit ESlick is very tempting.
