Bookeen (and presumably the other manufacturers too) seem to receive a new batch of machines roughly once a month. The length of the wait depends, therefore, where your order point fits in to that monthly delivery cycle.

I got my Cybook in about 2 weeks from the time that I ordered it (I ordered it from NAEB). If you are looking for ease to transfer books then it doesn't matter whether you get the Cybook or the 505, so instead I would compare features if I were you. I don't know about the 505 features, but I do know that the Cybook allows you to make the text as big or as small as you want where as the 505 only has three choices and the Kindle only has six. The Cybook also allows you to load your own fonts into it. It comes with four but you can load any true type font in it that you want to use. The Cybook also has dictionary support (which the Sony does not) and it also supports in text hot links. I really like my Cybook and believe I have made a good choice for what I wanted it for. This is definately a pro-Cybook post

BTW, just to update you guys, Books on Board has Cybooks in stock, and as far as I know they ship them immediately. Mine got shipped the same day they got their shipment from Bookeen (although maybe I got lucky). At any rate, I think it's a faster option than ordering from Booken or Naeb if you're in a rush.
