I know it’s been quite awhile since there’s been a post here but I have to add my two cents anyway. I think Amazon’s Kindle is the best ebook reader out there now. It’s got a middle of the road price but in my opinion, top of the line features. I own a couple of ebook readers other than the Kindle but now I’m a diehard.

I’m pretty interested in the Cybook. I wouldn’t throw out my Sony Reader, but it’s always a good thing when a relatively cheap ebook reader comes out. Let’s hope that the variety of choices helps to ramp up interest in ebooks in general.

I do like the industrial design of the Cybook’s hardware. And that’s a pretty decent price given the competition. But ultimately, they’re going to have to cost reduce the price even more (or increase the functionality drastically) to make it take off. That being said, I’m looking forward to trying out the Cybook when it comes out in September.

Great post! Have you considered the new Cybook coming in September? I donm’t know that it will have the WiFi capabilities, however it will have some of the functionality of Irex’s Iliad with a price tag of $350, which is only a bit higher than the Sony Reader.
