if you are able to buy both, and your mine use is for PDF, what you personally will pick?
one last question, what about the support of RRS?
thanks again .

The comparison of the screens is a bit hard for me. I have the feeling that if you have the same good screen font on both devices, the difference is not as big as one would think - probably negligable in the end. However the software issue of sometimes rendering (especially pdfs) to light/grey on the 903 makes the m92 more readable - this however could be fixed with a firmware upgrade on the 903. Also I learned that selecting a really good font for fbreader makes a ton of a difference (for epubs). And its also a question of taste: my gf seems to like the font rendering on the 903 better then on the m92 (again epub).
I tried to take a higher resolution image:

Please also note the different page count at the bottom of the screens. The m92 is jumping 2 or 3 page numbers at a time, so somehow it seems to get a bit confused by the file.
Judging everyday pdf use between 903 and m92 is too early for me, to be honest. the m92 just arrived yesterday, I don't even know how to handle it properly, and haven't really used it in real life for reading and annotating. I am still collecting notes and thoughts (ongoing process, visible on the website above). Both devices have their pro and cons. In two or three weeks I can give a qualified statement.
Having said that: right here and now I am leaning towards the m92 as the better pdf handler. Mostly because of the the rendering of text is more black (and can be adjusted via glyph embolden) and the selection of zoom area with stylus (the 903 really depends on the 'briss' software which sometimes swallows the table of contents). Maybe also because the scribbles can be merged into a new pdf (not 100% sure about that).
On RSS reading: I haven't seen anything in the m92 so far, while the 903 has a basic reader. I have to test the one on the 903. It looked a bit basic, but maybe its enough. One can of course always use a web based service and visit that with the build in browser (I use
http://www.planetplanet.org/ for that).

also in the "djvu files, arabic pdf, searching in pdfs, annotating," when showing the arabic pdf i believe the pdf itself has a shaded background , which is what you are seeing when you mention "a kind of darkish grey grid" in the display. The pocketbook is not displaying the image as a background but it can be seen for a moment in between the page changes as a sort of "horizon" image.
i took a screen shot as an example

On the zoom: thanks for the advice on the 4way on the m92 to change the zoom. Actually works very nice (and fast).
The arabic pdf: well spoted, thanks. Looking at the file on the desktop there seems to some background shading. The 903 seems to render it as white, and the m92 goes for some form of grey. I guess I prefer the 903 here. :-)
