Fromt he latest pictures, the Cybook looks like an ergonomic disaster. I know the Sony is poor in that regard as well.

When I hold my Sony, the page turn button would be best 1/2 way up or 3/4 the way up the top of the left side and would be nice also on the right side as well depending which hand you prefer to use. The Cybook looks like all the controls are at the bottom. Even worse then the Sony. When will these companies learn how people actually hold the reader and make buttons so it is more comfortable to turn pages.

The other problem here is we need another reader with the same specs as the Sony like we need a hole-in-the-head. What we need is a reader that handles letter/a4 PDF properly. Make the reader do 1024x768 in a 4:3 aspect with a 9" screen and it might be ok.
