I can recommend Astak for a reader. Their EZReader line are identical hardware to the Bebook Mini/One and Eco Reader line but are far cheaper and come with an international warranty. Just a price comparison for the 5" the Bebook mini is $389Aus without a cover, the Astak Pocket Pro (with a cover) is $244US delivered ($199 for the reader $45 for delivery), which works out just under $280Aus. They are about to release the new 6" which is meant to be priced about $219US (plus $45 freight). The thing about buying these readers is you can install the Astak/Jinke/LBook firmwares at your pleasure.
