My Sony Reader is scheduled to arrive next week. I bought it using the Sony Card promotion.

I'm still having a hard time deciding between the Sony Reader and the Bookeen Cybook Gen 3. I'm thinking of selling the Sony Reader on Ebay, and rolling that into the purchase of a Cybook.

Here is the way I see it:
Pros for Sony:
1) A lot of user support, resulting in some great tools.
2) A proven reader that's been out for over a year.
Pros for Cybook:
1) Next-gen technology including Viziplex
2) Mobipocket (I've got more faith in Amazon's venture than I do in Sony's.)

Am I just craving the latest "gadget," or do people think that it's worth paying the extra $$$ for a Cybook?
