So I have decided to purchase an eInk reader. I have been doing some studying. Here are my thoughts and question(s). I would like to make a low cost as possible but high value purchase, used, refurbished, new.

I really am attracted to the highly regarded Sony eReaders.

Especially the

PRS-650
PRS-505
PRS-350

Also the Kobo Touch and Wireless look to be contenders.

Not interested in a Kindle or Nook.

But the Sony's seem to command high prices and have some quirks about them.

What are some lessor known eInk readers in the 5-6" range that you would recommend? Perhaps I could save a few bucks. Older eInk technology is fine. Would like memory expansion slot.

Thanks. I checked out mobileread's wiki, but was overwhelmed.
