Of all my readers?
I'll only give the
top 5:
I've always been an iRex fan. iRex iLiad has been my first ePaper unit in 2007 and still is one of my favorites.
So
iRex 800 clearly is one of my alltime favorites: Touchscreen (WACOM = no glare), very nice form factor, love the flipbar for turning pages.
Pocketbook 360 is relatively new to me, but quickly rose to my top 3. I absolutely hate the buttons for turning pages. They're ugly, too big. And not even real buttons, but "cut-outs" from the housing. But I don't need them, as described a few replies above. The modified FBReader allows turning pages by slightly moving your wrist (via G-sensor). It's my favorite for the beach: Put it in a ziplog bag, turn pages without buttons and easily protect it from sand or suncream.
Sony 900 is one of my most beautiful units. Phantastic design, great UI - so I don't really bother about the slight glare.
Cybook Opus is more favorable design-wise than PocketBook 360 to me. Would it have PocketBooks firmware, it would be perfect. So I'm always torn between PocketBook 360 and Cybook Opus.
BeBook Neo is a tough one. It has great features, but I don't like some design choices. It's in the top 50%, but its actual rank changes frequently.
I like
Barnes & Nobles' nook and Spring Design's Alex. Interesting choices, to combine ePaper and LCD.
I rarely use
iPad for reading to preserve battery, but I like it and wouldn't have any problems with the display.
