Out of those the fnac book has the worst screen. It is an old Sipix, dark as hell and absolutely inferior.
Don't buy a Sony 600 either. They had a coating over the screen and have a bad glare problem. The Sony 300 does not have this problem but is slow and has an old screen, too. If you go for a Sony make sure to buy one of the PRS-X50 series.
Cybook Opus is a 5" reader.

Sweex is an old Netronics device. They are old in terms of screen technology and are only good if they have a good firmware. The Sweex does not. In case you are interested in a reader like this go with the Pocketbook 301+for their better firmware, but all in all the Netronics devices are much too expensive nowadays with their old technology. Cybook Gen3 is exactly the same hardware with another firmware as the Sweex and the Pocketbook 301+. If you only want a reader for starters you can buy a Netronics device with
Italica for 99€ plus shipping in Germany. They are not favorable for PDF reading, but do fine as a first reader if you don't mind them being a bit slower. All the Netronix readers are slow and have quite a grey screen.
Same is true for the Iriver Story. Extremely outdated and the quality seriously lacks. The newer Iriver Cover story might be nice but is a bit on the expensive site (it is 199€ here). It also has a slight glare.
I can't say anything about the Orizon, but given the price and the specs I'd rather go with a Sony or one of the new Pocketbooks.
