Do you want a Sony or do you want a CyBook? It's like asking "should I buy an apple or an orange?". They are different machines with different capabilities. The Sony is undoubtedly better engineered; the CyBook is equally undoubtedly (IMHO) streets ahead when it comes to software, with Mobi support, dictionary lookup, the ability to load any font you wish onto the machine, and also in some hardware features, such as having a user-replaceable battery.
Both machines are good - but different. What features are you looking for in an eBook reader?

Thanks people for the responses.
Harry - I would like the machine in order to read text files that I have created from internet pages and also from word docs. I.e. cutting and pasting text from various sources
Eventually I would like to be able to browse the internet using an e-ink device as my eyes get very sore quickly using conventional screens - however at the moment this seems to be in its infancy with only one version of the iRex digital reader having a basic browser and that is too expensive for me at this point for something that is still in its infancy.
