Where are you getting the $70 less figure? And "quite bad"??? That's a highly subjective statement without any discussion to back it up.
The Sony PRS-500 (and 505) officially costs 280$ whereas the Gen3
costs 350$. Once more currently the Sony Reader comes with 100 ebooks
classic titles and is often discounted.

I said the cybook looks quite bad because well... seeing these two readers
side by side, the Gen3 looks like a cheap device compared to the Sony.

Once more since the PRS-505 is gonna be cheaper than the Gen3, I think
this will be the last device sold by bookeen...

It's really a shame they sell it at such a price, the chinese producer probably
asks around 150$ to Bookeen for each gen3.

I don't mind paying 350 bucks for a reader but I want something with a nice
design and good materials. The gen3 seems to be built with cheap plastics,
just like any other chinese crap.

Anyway, delphidb96 I really appreciate all the work you are doing for us
and don't take these complains for you.
