Re:I own some readers (Score 1)

I own two readers, a Sony PRS500 and an 'engineering sample' version of the Bookeen Cybook Gen3. I cannot imagine going back to the bad old days of reading on a PDA. Or being tied to a desktop or laptop. While I'm a bit frustrated at the lack of firmware updates to the Cybook (C'mon Bookeen! Get a better folder navigation system up and running!) I tend to like it. More so than the older, dimmer, less-crisp screen in the PRS500. I have SEEN PRS505s and they are as crisp and bright as the Cybook. In fairness, I must disclose that I'm a corporate officer for Not Another E-Book, LTD and we at NAEB are working on bringing a modified package deal of the Cybook Gen3 to market. We should be open by the end of this week. And for all who've already heard this over at MobileRead, yes, it is MY fault that it took so long for us to get the merchant accounts set up! My apologies for those who've been waiting. As for which one to choose, I'd say go for whichever one you feel most comfortable with. I lean to the Cybook, but I'm in favor of the more 'generic' Mobipocket DRM'd format over that of the much more proprietary Amazon AZW or Sony LRF. And don't even begin to talk to me about the Hanlin Wolf format!
