@ Paula - many thanks for your contribution.
I will now be having a look at the pocketbook 903 next week, there is a store selling them nearby. Given that the EE sells for ~ 600 EUR here, whereas the pocketbook 902 sells for 320, I am a little hesitant to shell out that much on the EE.
I am basically interested in the reading features, when I am working, I usually also have a laptop nearby to directly take notes (which I do in TeX) or indeed the good old paper pad. I just don't want to do the reading on LCD screen anymore and not carry around large amounts of paper.
Whilst I would like to buy now a device that will carry me through the next 5 years, I fear that this will be a long shot. I think I will just make up my mind this month, and then hope that I don't bite my bum in the summer when the killer device actually does come out.
