You know, I *want* it to be better; I love the folders, I love the 'recent files,' I really like the 'keyboard lock.' For me, what kills it is the limited font sizes (I tend to read really small fonts to reduce page turns, a hold over from reading on a PDA I think), and the lack of "in book dictionary lookup" (I find I will lookup at least 1 word in every eBook I read, usually more).

That said, I will continue to recommend the BeBook to anyone who is looking for an eBook Reader. It has great format support, easy to understand interface, font sizes are good for the majority of people, and the price is right. I'm just really picky. I'm looking forward to future firmware updates from both companies, sooner or later they should adopt the best of both worlds and leave me with 2 awesome eBook Readers.

See my comparison chart in this post: Comparison Between BeBook and Cybook
