Hi All,

I've been a happy Sony PRS-505 owner for a couple of years now, but I'm thinking that it's time to upgrade to something bigger. It's kind of sad to see that there are so few choices for 9"+ readers, though.

I think I'm settling on Pocketbook 902 due to its ability to read so many different formats (and avoid the hassle of converting things like FB2 and DJVU to more common ones) and the size seems about right to be able to read larger-sized PDF files without having to use a magnifying glass. The only thing that's stopping me is that I've a read about a lot of issues with firmware, how bad is it really? Provided that I just want the reader to be able to let me read books, not brew coffee (i.e. I don't care for browsing the Internet/annotating/listening to music and other things that are better done on a computer).
