So I'm still looking for the perfect reader to buy... I have updated my requirements a bit :
  • Required:
    • Format supported: epub, pdf, txt
    • Ability to display the following languages (epub/txt): French, German, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and of course English
    • Translation dictionaries for the above languages (natively or added)
    • Collections/shelves... whatever the name
    • sd/micro-sd card
    • easy to turn pages one handed
    • not heavier than my PRS-505 (around 260g)
  • Desired:
    • Frontlit
    • 7inch-ish screen
    • Book rating and order by rating (when browsing the library)
    • Book summary displayed when browsing library (directly - no "long press")
    • easy to turn pages one handed when holding with the left hand, even with a "book style" cover
    • Edit the collections without a specific software
    • PDF reflow
  • Bonus:
    • Handwritten notes (wacom style stylus)
    • Cheap ^^

So here is the list of the readers I checked and whether they meet my requirements
  • Kindle: No
  • Sony: ?
  • Kobo: No (damn, I really liked the Aura)
  • Onyx: Languages?
  • Cybook: Yes
  • PocketBook: Chinese?
  • Boyue: No
  • Hanwang (Hanvon): Languages? (I like the N618)
  • Nook: not interested
  • Ectaco: didn't see anything that fit

So did I miss any reader (e-ink only) that would fit? Or got the characteristics wrong? The latest Cybook doesn't look half bad, having at least another to choose from would be best though.

Thanks!
