The gen3 isn't enough of an upgrade at the moment to warrant a $350 outlay of money. That $350 would be best saved for the unit beyond the Sony and Cybook. The iLiad is nice, but it is a bit expensive. My feeling is you have your Sony. Just wait. The OSny will work and let you read books just fine. The next gen unit after the current Sony and Cybook will be the one you might want.
I agree, if you have a Reader there's little reason to buy a CyBook.

Given that they are approximately the same price, if you're looking to buy a eBook reader it depends basically:

1. Where you live.

2. Which eBook format you prefer.

I probably shall buy a CyBook because I have an iLiad, and it would be nice to have a compact BookReader to take away on trips that can read the same MobiPocket books I have on my iLiad.
