Howdy, new here on the forum but I've been lurking around (unregistered) for about a year now. I was originally looking for an ebook reader over a year ago and narrowed it down to the bebook as fitting my needs at the time. I didn't end up purchasing it however because it wasn't the perfect device for me.

Seeing how the market has now considerably changed, and with the number of new devices that have popped up, I'm wondering if maybe I can get some advice on where to start looking again.

I love to hack my devices and would optimally want to have a device with good dev. support. But if it does everything I need it to do this might not be necessary

I think I would prefer an E-Ink display but haven't really given much thought to an epaper-tft screen. I might checkout the Libre Pro @ Future shop just to see what the screen looks like.

Here are my requirements:

MUST
+ Open a large variety of formats: mobi, pdf, epub, djvu, etc.
+ Display charts and tables in pdf properly
+ Reflow pdf files with good zoom features
+ Bookmarking/Notes
+ File browsing off SD

NICE TO HAVE
+ Optimally a 6" device (I can live with 5 or 7 as well)
+ Dictionary would be nice to have

FEATURE I'D LIKE TO HAVE BUT HAVEN'T SEEN AVAILABLE YET
+ Highlighting in pdf with the ability to save the pdf on fly with the highlights. Many devices allow you to highlight but store the info on the device so when you export it back to your pc they're not there.

NOT NECESSARY
- Don't really need connectivity (WIFI/3G)
- Don't really need to use it as anything else (MP3, Games, etc)

Many Thanks,
- Rob.
