Something that support both Epub & Mobi

[JSWolf]

Well, OP isn't going to find the perfect device. Mobipocket is pretty much dead outside of Kindles.

Being able to read both Mobi and ePub on the same device is no issue - any smartphone or tablet can do that. But personally I think that eInk readers are vastly superior reading devices.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Kobo Touch will read both .epub and .mobi formats.

From what I have read, the Mobi support is quite poor.

Theoretically, but its Mobi support is, by all accounts, very poor indeed.

But: The small "360 plus" with a 5'' eInk Screen (vizplex, no pearl I'm afraid) is priced at 133,- USD on their website ...

Agree with both posts. Except for the price range a Pocketbook reader will fit all of your requirements perfectly. Maybe you will find them worth paying a little bit more.

You're right. Coolreader can't read mobi files. But it's a great reader for ePub files.

Wow, many responses already. Thank you all for the help so far.

I thought about Sony but I didn't know it does collections like Kindle too. I don't think Sony will be good for me either.

The rooted Nook Touch intrigues me. I have no problem doing that sort of technical thing as long there are tutorials for dummies. CoolReader looks impressive from what y'all are telling me, but it doesn't support mobi which is a bummer.

PocketBook seems to be the best fit for me, yet its official site says most of its product are "out of sale." This is also true as it is on ebay and amazon. What's up with that? Does anyone know when more will be out? For those who owns PocketBook, where did you buy it?

I specifically recommended a nook touch with Coolreader as you can see all the negative comment's are from people that have not used such a device I would take them with a pinch of salt. Coolreader is an opensource project that is updating almost daily. Mobi support was improved a lot over the last 6 months or so.
If you have an android device you can try coolreader yourself if you don't you can try http://bluestacks.com/ beta it will install an android emulator and allow you to install and use android apps on a windows pc.
Or you can get the latest version of windows, mac or linux version of coolreader to check it out from here

I would recommend my Ectaco jetBook Lite, but I think the price has gone up rather than down. Perhaps a google search would find one close to your price range.

The PocketBook line is highly regarded here.

I saw smallest of three current versions for 133$ on US website.
