Device: PocketBook 360, before it was Sony Reader, cassiopeia A-20
I also suggest, have a look at
PocketBook 360°
http://pocketbook.com.ua/index.php?id=342

It has firmware features, none of the [5 and 6 inch] competitors have.
have a look at video demo at http://pocketbook.com.ua/index.php
See this post https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=19 for translation of naration in video
Text search, notes, dictionary (that user can replace), file operations (copy, move, delete ...), even games and scientific calculator!
You can run user created programs from an SD card. You can create your own program - or compile existing one with different options.
There is :GASP: terminal emulator that runs [bussybox version of] Bourne Shell. Yes. You can run included busybox Linux binaries from the terminal emulator.
Have a look at http://pocketbook-free.sourceforge.net/en/index.shtml for user contributed programs.
You can even try software, if you install SDK (software development kit that includes device emulator!)

The entire device was tailored exactly to the demands of users at http://www.the-ebook.org . Using translate.google.com you can browse the forums and see discussion. Hardware was also tailor made. Look at the cover/lid.

Last but not least, have a look at youtube and search for pocketbook 360.
