Hi.
I want to buy my father a reader for his birthday.
We live in Israel, and 95% of the books he reads are in Russian, and he read a lot.
Only few books are in English, so Russian is the main language that will be used.
He have a collection of about 5000 books in Russian in fb2 format that he uses.
So, the reader I'm looking for should support Russian (Cyrillic I guess) and English of course.
Also, it should be of a good quality and up to 200$.
I thought of the nook (149$), but I'm not sure how easy it would be to convert a lot of fb2 books to epub and how the result of that would be (?).
Thanks for any help.

EDIT: 6" or bigger is preferable
