How so. Choosing a book from the menu and then pressing "next page, next page, next page, next page, next page" isn't very hostile.

Considering you want a solid device and don't want a dictionary and have alot of LIT books which are very easy to convert to LRF I would say the Sony would be a good bet for you.

If you want something a bit smaller, but it is not an eInk device you might want to look at the Jetbook. You would have to convert your books to .txt. It also has a world-wide warranty.
