I'd like something light and small like the PB 360, but a little more stable. I only use it for reading, don't want internet or games or all that stuff.
I do very much want a dictionary I can access directly from the text of my book (i.e. not having to close the book & open the dictionary as book), preferrably multiple dictionaries for different languages. (Basically, I want a PB 360 that's more stable than mine proved to be :-)

In brief my personal experience with 5" readers:
Sony 300: I'm a Sony fan - with the exception of Sony 300. You turn pages with the center 5-way-button. No matter in which position I hold the device, it never seems ergonomic.
Cybook Opus: I like it a lot and actually I prefer its buttons over the ugly "butterfly buttons" of PocketBook 360.
PocketBook 360: If I compare the standard firmware, Cybook Opus would be slightly ahead. But I absolutely love the FBRedaer modification on PocketBook. Turning pages without pressing any buttons, just by turning your wrist. Great in a crowded train. Or equally great if you put PocketBook 360 in a bag to protect it from sand when taking it with you to the beach.
BTW: I didn't have any stability issues with firmware 14.2.
15.2 is a little bit less stable than 14.2, but far more stable than 15.1 has been. Over all, it's okay for me.
I haven't got
BeBook Mini. But I've got BeBook One, which has the same design. I don't like it, to me it simply looks cheap. Maybe that's the reason, why BeBook Neo is an entirely new unit from another vendor.
