Thanks for the feedback, HarryT. I know you are a great enthusiast of the Cybook.
Yesterday I was in a bookshop where they let you try the Cybook. Well, you can't hold it your hands, it's attached to the wall, inside a plastic cover - that's I I missed the side buttons, they're not reachable because of this cover. Anyway, I found it very fast and I really enjoyed being there reading for a while and trying some of its functions. But when I compare it to the PRS-505, the Cybook, especially the case, seams to me a bit "cheap", though I know and already read it here that the Cybook is a good product. I just know the PRS-505 by photos and videos and I get the impression that maybe it is easier to hold and more comfortable to use.
Once again, thanks everyone for your opinions and thoughts on the matter.
