I haven't made up my mind; I'm just leaning towards the Sony at the moment, but the package hasn't arrived yet -- and it seems it won't til late next week. My choice won't be cemented til I tear the thing open.
The Sony's ergonomics seem much more book-like to me; it just looks like an easier device to "forget" (and focus on the reading). The Cybook's awkward button placement seems like a constant reminder that you're reading on a "device". However, like vivaldirule's sig says, "content, content, content!"
I'm also conscious of the fact that I'm voting with my dollars. This market is young enough (there are so few of us still) that one person's platform choice can help make a difference on the direction the industry takes. On that end, the Cybook seems to have less "baggage" than the Sony. However, I'm not convinced that buying Mobipocket is sending the right message.
