After 2 years of reading I got my screen having streaks (suspect the culprit is the airport security screening).
This device seems discontinued and out of stock.

But it is the only one I find useful for my needs : reading all formats, including Adobe (books as scanned images, no OCR), in several languages (English, Russian, Greek, Japanese). Don't want Wi-fi, 3G, music. I don't need stores to buy bestsellers. I have my own library.

The devices on the market seem not satisfactory in format flexibility, or
too big and bulky (301 is 175 gr, 602 is 280 gr)
and have features I don't need, etc.

Could someone suggest where to look? How to replace my Pocketbook 301 plus? (I would also willing to buy a working second-hand)

P.S. Why everything good and simple gets squeezed out of the market?
