EInk Pearl + Good library interface (must use epub)?
What Pearl based reader has the best user interface for scrolling/sorting/searching through books?

Looking for a 6" reader.

Have you looked at the nook touch? It has 6" screen, pearl display and a good library(with cover art) UI.

The Kindle has excellent search features. It's the only one of the mainstream readers (as far as I know) which fully indexes your books so you can carry out library-wide searches.

Unfortunately the kindle doesn't support ePub.

I would agree with the above posters about the nook touch. The Sony ebook readers also work well, but are also very expensive.

Looking for a 6" reader.
Sony WiFi PRS-T1

That's the reader to go for. It's supposed to be released in the US mid-September. There are threads all about the T1. So have a look and you'll find out more about it.

The T1 is going to cost $149.

It's good to hear Sony is finally getting sane with their prices! I still am hesitant to recommend something I haven't had my hands on, so my previous recommendation still stands :P

But you know the Kindle doesn't support ePub. So that means it doesn't qualify. So why recommend it when it's wrong for the OP?

LOL don't you just love that about this forum with all the kindle fans, you could ask where's a great place to eat in Chicago and they'll all pipe in "buy a kindle buy a kindle, it'll change your life"

I can't recommend the nook STR. I don't like the way they do the top and bottom margins and the way they've divided the internal memory between B&N downloaded eBooks and others is just wrong.

I never understood the whole "the sky is falling" mentality when it comes the division of the sideloaded books and bn downloaded. It has an SD card slot you can load as many sideloaded books as your heart is content.

oh well, different strokes I guess.
