Great! I loved my ONE, but didn't want to buy more freezing.

That's good to know. I was worried that the Wifi would be such a drain, it would make the device less than perfect for travelling.

Also, Neo hardware seems to be a bit more robust than the Club.
I would have considered the Club only if the battery problem in the Neo persisted - but since this doesn't seem the case, I'll go for the Neo

Interesting. I did a quick search to see if the Bebook is sold in Germany - apparently that's still not the case. I found a used one on Amazon (from a seller, of course) for EUR 248.- Where do they sell in the Netherlands?
