Bookeen Cybook
Pros:
- Lighter
- More protective padded leather case
- It reads more formats including Adobe and Mobipocket
- I have already spent close to $200 on books that will not transfer to the Sony
- There are more free Mobipocket books online than Adobe format
- Cleaner look because of the fewer buttons
- Different fonts are available
Cons:
- Does not read all formats of Adobe
- Harder to toggle through the menu
- Made of plastic so perhaps not as durable
- Limited menus so it takes a while to get to your books if you have a lot loaded onto the reader
Sony Digital Reader
Pros:
- It's RED!
- More durable because it is metal
- I actually won it...which hello? What are the chances?
- More buttons allow easier access to menus
- More functions because of the buttons
- Able to purchase a leather case with a night light attached to it
- Comes with 100 free classical books from Sony
- You can make "collections". These are similar to your playlists on the iPod
Cons:
- Will need to re-purchase the books I have already bought for the Cybook because it does not read Mobipocket
- The metal may get scratches
- Heavier
- Reads only 2 formats, Adobe being the main one. However, it reads all Adobe formats
- Fewer free Adobe books online
- The 100 free books from Sony are mostly available for free in the Mobipocket format
- Not as clean of a look because of the buttons
- Bottom right button is pointless, however, I did find a hack online to change the functions
- The cases aren't as protective
