The Cybook, didn't sound like it had as good firmware/OS support, as good document format support(although it seemed that they had the important ones), etc. so I've just really ignored it for the moment. Would this impression be incorrect?
As to the lighting, side lighting, back lighting, either's ok as long as it's some type of integrated lighting as I find myself in many low light situations where an unlit screen will not work. Also find myself in many outdoor birghtly sunny conditions which tend to make color devices entirely useless IMNHO, while monochromes if shielded a little from the light(contrast problems) work well.
Beyond that my main concerns were the lack of touchscreen from someone who has gone from a device with one to one without.
As an additional note, PDF support is not high on my list of priorities, as I find mobipocket, plucker, palmdoc, HTML, etc. support to be more significant to me as I tend to avoid PDF for etexts whener possible. (Primarily because of my prior/current device poor support/conversion capabilities...)
