Hi,

Can you please help me on picking my first e-reader.
I use it mainly for reading novel in Traditional Chinese. I am located in Canada so mostly I will go for mail order. I want a 6" device with e-ink technology to reduce stress on my eye. I want native support of Chinese.

I narrow down my choice to Pocketbook 602 and Onyx Boox x60

1. How do you like the screen of these 2 model?
2. How about the reliability?
3. How about freezing problem?
4. Do they have same length of warranty period (in North America)?

The guy in Future Shop say a lot of model has freezing problem and he recommend me to wait for new Sony model which may hit the store in October. But I read that Sony does not have native support in Chinese. If I buy it in HK 2 months later, maybe it will have native support, but the warranty is an issue.

I heard Boox has some problem/defect related to reading under sunlight? Is it fixed?

Wifi is not important to me, but it is a nice-to-have.

Thanks in advance for any comment and comparison.
