For a book to compare the Sony and Cybook, I suggest Wells, H.G.: War of the Worlds. In LRF and PRC. I don't have a Sony, but the PRC version looks good in MobiPocket Reader and FBReader (manually select windows-1252 encoding).

My favorite test text is Ring of Fire, which is a Baen free book. I use the .prc version in FBReader, but I don't know what the best way to import it to the Sony would be. FBReader screenshots often show the start of "The Wallenstein Gambit" because it has an embedded image.
