Hi, I'm a newbie looking to jump into the e-reader pool. I've written about my research and shared my "wish-list" here. I've also written a post similar to this in the Cybook G3 forums and the Sony PRS-505 forums.

My first choice was either the Sony 700 or Sony 505. Then I looked at them at a Borders and came away unimpressed with the 700's display and a little hesitant about the design of the 505 (buttons on the side). So I have been looking at others (albeit I have not crossed the 505 off the list yet).

I've considered the Cybook G3 and the EZ Reader/BeBook, mostly because I liked the design and the format support. However, while lurking in the Cybook forum, it seems there is a lot of disgruntlement there. Which makes me think twice and thrice about that reader.

So, can you please tell me - why do you love your EZ Reader (or BeBook)? What is it that makes you want to curl up and get cozy with it? Or, if the relationship has cooled off, please tell me why - or, if you hate it now and want to get a restraining order issued and banish it from your life forever, then why?

Thanks so much for your opinions and shared wisdom.
