JSWolf,
Exactly *where* did you hear that the Cybook won't have PDF support? Because that's not what we've been hearing.
Yes, the Gen3, which has the 6" screen, won't do an adequate job of displaying the larger-page PDF files, but then the Sony has the same problem when displaying PDFs formatted to a larger page.
But any PDF file which is formatted to fit a 6" 'page' will display just fine. Of course, most PDF formatted ebooks *aren't* formatted to that page size, but it's easy enough to strip out the text and graphics and re-format to Mobi or LRF for the time being.
No, I wouldn't recommend attempting to use a Sony PRS500 or Cybook Gen3 for reading A4 (or larger) pages. But then, just try reading a PDF page formatted to 13" x 19" on an Iliad... Trust me, you won't like it.

I was look at ebooks earlier today and noticed that MobiPocket books are more expensive for the EXACT SAME CONTENT!
