Welcome to MobileRead, AClotfelter.
Honest answer - nobody knows.
As you say, hardware-wise, the Sony and the CyBook will be pretty similar. The CyBook will use a "next generation" screen which is slightly brighter, with a noticeably quicket refresh rate, but whether that will make any practical difference remains to be seen. On the other side of the coin, the Sony has 50% more internal memory (96MB compared with the 64MB of the CyBook).
It really boils down to what the machines will do software-wise, and that's a complete unknown as far as the CyBook goes - we'll all just have to wait and see.
What is it that your company wants to use them for?
