Hello all,

I consider buying an ereader and I'm hesitating between these two devices : Kobo Glo and Cybook Odyssey Frontlight.
I know the Cybook has just been released, a few days ago. They aren't yet comprehensive reviews of this one.
So, I've a few questions :

-Which is the most reliable of this two brands ? Which one does faster updates (I read Kobo was more reactive than Bookeen but I'm looking for confirmations), which one sells the steadiest devices, has the best support... ?

-I've seen a comparison in a German site and it looks like Kobo Glo has too broad margins. Can I change margin's size with Kobo Glo ?

-Apparently the Odyssey Frontlight features a PDF reflow function, whereas Kobo Glo don't. Since I'll probably read quite a lot of PDF, is this function really helpful ?

Thank you in advance

EDIT : I forgot : it seems that the Cybook has a much more comfortable library interface and sorting system. Can you tell me more about it ? And about Kobo Glo's interface ?
