What I absolutely don't like about it: On Sony 505 you have various choices for turning pages. On Sony 300, you've got a single option: The 5-way-controller in the bottom middle of the reader.
I very much prefer the side buttons on Cybook Opus.
Or even more, having these buttons on both sides of the unit, as with Kindles or Nook.

There is a way to get a side button to change pages, but it involves flashing the firmware with an unofficial firmware. I did it on mine without issue, but it is definitely not for the faint of heart
With that said, I still find myself using the bottom button more often than the "8" button on the side. I agree that it would have been MUCH nicer to have a dedicated side page turner (even both sides) The Cybook Opus looks like a very nice unit and one I would have looked at closely as it handles a good set of formats like the Sony's. It was just too tough to pass up on the $169 that I paid for the 300 new
