I have often tons of stuff to read for work (emails, web pages, different documentation etc.) So the Cybook would be perfect it it would support a type of file easy to produce before leaving home/office and grabbing the cybook.
It supports PDF, HTML, RTF, TXT and Mobipocket. However, everything is in the details - for example does RTF reflow nicely and can the font size be changed on the device. We will have to wait for a hands on review to find out. HTML is also promising, because Plucker, .FB2, .LIT and .EPUB are all HTML-like.

I would like to have seen a few more actual (non-DRM) e-books formats (FB2, LIT, AportisDoc, ...), but these may be coming later on.
