First of all sorry for not responding earlier.
Second, I have narrowed it down to the following 2 devices:
1. Sony PRS 300
2. Hanvon N518
From what I have seen from Sony, it is a very capable device. Hanvon on the other hand, I can get well within my budget from totalereaders.com. Kindle, Nook and Kobo are not what I'm looking for. I might consider a Kindle if I run out of options though.
Questions: Does anyone have experience with Hanvon and totalereaders.com?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for weird questions.
