Ok!! first post for me so hi!

Ive narrowed it down to the Nook Touch simple and the Kobo Touch and considering Pocketbook 360 Plus or prs 350

Main considerations:

1. Need mobility. will using it a lot on bus rides and waiting rooms and at home. so has to fit in my small bag

2. will be using mostly mobilepocket book, and calibre to get my books (allready have a library that will last some years). so format and computability with those are important. no need for wireless.

3. price!

4. Hackability love messing with hacks and hidden abilties

5. Im located in the middle east so i need it to be supported still, like updates and support.

6. syncing, for my netbook, and smartphone when can afford it.

what I like about them:

Kobo: Its smaller than than the new kindle and nook, touch screen is cool. I like th sync option. Im affraid that linux os will be a prob, and i dont know if syncing will be an option for me as i dont plan on buying the books from kobo.

Nook: same as the Kobo (give or take) only ANDROID!!! if a got a new phone it would be android 4sure so how is syncing?? is there any yet? i mean android seems perfect for future fucking around with and apps and stuff. also dont know wich is better interface... are the physical buttons that important?

sony and pocketbook: i like how the pocket book has a protector, that will come in handy inside my bag without investing in a case. the sony seems up to par with th nook and kobo and is a lot cheaper now. how do they match up to the nook and kobo?

im tempted to put in less money for older designs, but i do have the budget to spend an extra 40 -30 for a newer model.

any advice, personal experienced and additional recommendations are welcome and much needed...
