The screen on the CyBook and the Sony is identical. I mean "identical" as in "made on the same production line". They are the same screen.

I am not bothered by the lack of dictionary and tbh I don't really understand what is it for... To check how the book will end?
It's to look words up in. Suppose you're reading a 19th century novel and you read about a "chaise" and a "phaeton". They are both types of carriage, but do you know what the difference is between them? You could say "I don't care" but for me it enrichens the reading experience to be able to look up exactly what the author meant.

I am short sighted and I don't want to strain my eyes to much. I read that 505 has 3 levels of zoom is it fully comfortable to read max zoomed in?
The Sony has 3 zoom levels; the CyBook has 12, plus it support "real" bold and italic fonts (the Sony "synthesises" them), plus you can load any font you wish onto the machine. The CyBook has the best font handling of any device out there.
