"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...", this could not have been more true! Sony is the one which looks cheap, as if the engineers were not sure if they really needed all those buttons or not and added them just in case! Minimalism is beautiful! And the Cybook does it well!!!

I am sick of Sony`s way of controlling software, and most people are as well!
"On August 30, 2007 Sony announced that its online music store, Connect Music Services, would no longer support the ATRAC audio format."
To me this ment victory! and the only way to force sony to be more open is to boycott their products!
Sure the Sony Reader PRS-505 looks nice and would be an improvement, but why should one wait for the same thing which the Cybook is offering now?
The consumers have responsibilty to not let big corporations bully them around!
