I have a 5" Astak EZReader and I LOVE it.

My parents are buying me a new eReader for my birthday and now I have finally narrowed it down to a few choices.

I need a reader that supports html, pdf, epub, and txt formats
Has a SD (or micro I guess) expansion slot
and absolutely must support folder navigation.

These are the ones I have narrowed it down to.

1. 6" Hanlin V3+ (it's just a bigger version of what I already have)
2. Onyx Boox A60 (I'm nervous about the touchscreen thing)
3. Pocketbook 360 (the only one with a microsd expansion... not thrilled)
4. 5" Hanlin V5 (yes I know, same one but I have spare batteries)
5. Onyx Boox M90 (I would have to fork over an extra hundred, not thrilled)
6-8. Cybook Opus/Orizon/Gen3 (no PDB support)

What is the best and worst of each of these?
