Well, I had my mind set on a Pocketbook for a while, and after waiting for the 602s and 603 to arrive, I then saw... the IQ 701.
For a moment, that one seemed the right choice instead - the color screen, the processor, the attractive price...
(By the way, *does* it have a backlight or not? In the pre-specifications I saw it did, but now I'm not sure. That feature would actually be something I certainly wouldn't mind.)
But then I started reading about it being essentially a Pandigital Novel, and I saw the opinions on that tool:

Bad screen, sluggish speed? :/ Certainly not what I want. Has anyone had a hands-on experience with the 701 vs the 602? Which one is better? As a reader, that is - I just care about the supported formats, a crisp screen that can be read without stressing the eyes the way LCD screens will, and relatively fast page turning. I couldn't really care less about games and so on.
Is the kind of screen that the IQ lists (TFT) worse than 602's e-paper? According to what I'm reading, it would seem to be... but is that the case?
In short, which one to go for?
