Also, while I look at your profile description: how suitable do you find the pocketbook 9x and the boox m9x for openinkpot? And whats your take on their 'open-source'-ness?

I'd like to run OI on any new device, but it is much work and we have no kernel developers to make it real.
Pocketbook is pretty much closed. There is an SDK and you can create new applications, but you cannot change anything in the stock firmware. It's not possible to flash custom firmware. I cannot even start porting OpenInkpot because there is no way to run your own kernel.
They've released the sources for some components after ignoring and violating the GPL for about two years. But these sources are incomplete and almost pointless given that you cannot fix or adjust anything in the stock firmware.
Onyx has got git-repositories on the github.com. You can even send them patches with fixes and adjustments. It is possible to create and flash a custom firmware. You've got root on your device right out of the box.

Is there another device that you would prefer?

I like my kindle 3 and I use it for reading mobi files. It is fast and has got a pearl screen.
M92 seems to be one of the best 9.7" devices. It has got better hardware than M90 and the software seems to be more polished.
