Hi guys,
first of all thanks to this community for clarifying a lot of things I wanted to ask in other threads!

As many other users I´m planning to buy an ebook reader and would like to ask seasoned users/owners around before I do so.

My main priorities for the device as a student are
* convenient highlighting / notes function (therefore I value highly touchscreen with the use of a stylus)
* wifi connectibility with a basic web browser for checking emails / googling necessary stuff (3G not really needed)
* affordability (tighter budget had me rule out PocketBook 603 which seems ideal for my needs but too expensive)

As far as I´ve been able to "research" into available models
BeBook Neo / Onyx Boox 60 and Cybook Orizon and PocketBook 302
come into play.

Now since I don ´t have the chance to test them out myself and have not been able to find a comparison of these 2(3) models, I wanted to ask you whether you would be able to grant me more insight into the main advantages/disadvantages of these models (or maybe even broaden my horizons with some other devices that you know of).
I´m able to get them both at vaguely the same price here so without some additional info I´m stuck on this crossroad

Thanks very much in advance for your time!

Jakub

Edit: I´ve found out a nice deal for PocketBook 302 so if you have any experience with it as well I am very interested in your opinions!
