Which store are you going to be able to walk in and test the Cybook?
For me and you and people here it does not matter that much, but to reach critical mass you'll have to be able to pick it up from Wal Mart. Sony is not there yet, but as of now is the only device with the potential to get there.
True, but I hope there will be funds to advertise on ebook seller websites. That is where the potential customer base is already located.

I consider my self to be an early adopter of ebooks not because I own a Sony Reader, but because I was reading ebooks on my PDA 3 and a half years ago. I was already an ebook consumer when I started considering an Eink devices.
