I've made my decision finally. I'm buying the Hanlin because of three reasons:

- The girl at the store in my city (Apollo XXI store in Madrid) told me that they are selling WAY more Hanlins than Cybooks, and clients have never complained about Hanlins. They have two clients that returned their Cybooks as defective units; it might be a defective batch, though, I don't know.

- I get a 2 Gb SD card, case, and charger that I'd have to buy for the Cybook. That would make the price 30-40 euros more expensive, and I wanted to pay 300 euros max.

- Hanlin seems to be more active in development. I can use Openinkpot too.

I've been trying to convert pdfs and txt/html to Mobipocket with Book Designer these last days and it's quite easy.

I'm going to read Mobipocket files mainly, made by myself. Text only. Non-DRM, as I hate DRM and can't find much in Spanish anyway.

Harry, you say that Mobi support in the Cybook is way better than in the Hanlin. What is lacking in the Hanlin of the Mobipocket support, or what problems does the Hanlin have with prc files?
