Hi, university student here, looking to buy my first ever ereader, and hoping for a little advice. For the last month I've been looking, trying to collect data, trying to figure out which would be the best option for me, but I am seriously over my head. I've got it down to a short list now; can anybody help?

What important to me is having the best visibility possible inside and in high sunlight, but I also really like the idea of a touchscreen for ease of use. I'm not really interested in a secondary colour screen. Being able to read many different file formats and a long battery life are also important. All the normal things that make an ereader, I think (plus touch screen), which might be whats making it so hard to find the best option. The original price of the ereader also isn't that important to me, as I will probably end up buying second hand.

My short list right now is (in no real order):

BeBook Neo / Boox 60
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Sony Portable Reader Daily Edition PRS-900
Hanvon WISEreader N518
Hanvon WISEreader N526
Pocketbook 302
Pocketbook 360

Any help would be appreciated.
