I have been lurking around for some time now... First, I wanted to buy a Pocketbook IQ. I thought that it was what I wanted because I want to be able to read PDF rather easily. Thing is I think that it wouln't very good for my eyes. Right now, I don't know which one I should buy. There are so many e-book readers out there, which is a good thing and, at the same time, pretty confusing.

My wishlist:
- be able to read PDF rather easily
- a microSD slot
- WiFi (to access my e-mail, for example - I don't plan to go online very often, but I want to be able to check my e-mail if I want to)
- touch screen would be a good thing
- be able to make some annotations would be excellent!
- has to be from a company that is serious, that doesn't make promises that it can't keep

I have narrowed to two-three readers: Bookeen Orizon, Pocketbook Pro 602 and Bebook Club. There are some differences between the first two and the last one, I know, but the first two cost around 210-220 euros while the Bebook costs around 170 euros. The less money I spend the better. It would be great if someone could help me decide.

Thanks
