Thank you all for your helpful comments! I'll take the big step and buy my first ereader, and that will be the Sony PRS-505. The Cybook seems nice too, but I prefer the look of Sony's, and as an open source enthusiast I like it to support natively the epub format. I guess it won't be ideal for technical pdf's, but I forgot to mention the obvious in my original post: I want to read books with it

And well, if one these promising new devices is so good, I'll resell the Sony.

While I'm at it, 2 more questions:
1. it seems like there's no dealer in Switzerland yet, and after a quick look I thought about taking advantage of the low pound sterling and purchase in Waterstones.com : any objection?
2. Sony's lighted cover seems very nice too (thinking about reading in bed), and I found many positive feedbacks about it. Everybody agrees?
