I'm also trying to get all the info I can get on Hanlin v8 and Walkbook but -- I'm not sure why -- they don't give me much trust.
With a Sony or a Cybook I'd have to take with me an ordinary pen and a piece of paper to write down those OCR "mystakos" so that I could next search and replace them in my computer. (That wouldn't be too serious I guess.)
In the Sony vs Cybook arena I'd prefer Cybook for the fast turning pages and because it's commercialized in the EU and it has to apply to the EU directives in what concerns warranties (2 year warranty), etc. That's why I don't want to buy Sony from a US dealer or at Ebay... lot's of money with limited legal warranties.
