Hi

I'm finally looking to buy my first e-reader, and I *think* I've narrowed it down to the K3 or the Gen3

My main issue with the Kindle is the obviously the file formats. I'll be using a fair amount of ePub files, are format converters like Calibre any good? Obviously getting a Gen3 would solve this, but is it really worth £100 more?

Are there any readers I've overlooked?
Main things I'm looking for:
6" screen (at least)
Good usability
Wi-fi
Obviously format support would be nice, but if converting isn't much hassle then I don't mind
Portability isn't important

Also I'm from the UK so the Nook etc isn't an option.
