I'll chime in and add my vote for the PB360. I love mine so much I now have two—my home reader and the one I keep in my bag for when I'm out and about. I left my reader at work once over a weekend and was lost without it.

I have never seen a Cybook or Elonex in person so I can't compare. But I do have/had a Kindle 1, Kindle 2, PRS-600, PRS-900 and Jetbook Lite and the PB360 is by far my favorite. I use it for my day-to-day reading over any of the larger screen devices. The only thing I miss on it is a touchscreen to double-tap a word and look it up in the dictionary.

I have never had a crash with my PB360, although I also am a chicken and didn't upgrade my totally stable 14.2 firmware. I won't be upgrading that until there is a new firmware version that brave souls try out and give several weeks of consistent stability reports.

If you use your reader heavily, spending extra money to get the right one for you is worth it. If it's only to be an occasional item, you should factor price more into the equation.
