Thank you, v1k1ng1001. I knew the 902 would do a better job with pdf files but the price is not my only concern. It weighs 530 g (1.2 pounds). I have a device (similar to the 701) that weighs 480 g. Honestly, the weight and grab made reading less pleasant. Do people hold the big 902 with both hands or put it on a desk?

I am curious to know the quality of PocketBook as well. Is it more reliable than Kindle 3? I ordered Kindle 3 but canceled the order the next after reading the negative reviews on Amazon website. I estimated at least 10% of the kindle 3 freeze or crash very often. It is not always the cover that causes the problem. (Plus, people on a Russian forum say it doesn't support pop-up in Russian text.) My internet device mentioned above retired after 2 months. Not a big problem -- the charge slot became loose -- but I couldn't fix it by myself, very frustrating. Pocketbook has two year warranty. That is another reason I am considering it in addition to the Russian dictionary support. I would buy the Sony 950 for the 7" and build if it supports Russian dictionaries.

I emailed one CS center in Kiev, asking about the Russian pop-up translation function in PocketBook. Haven't got reply yet.
