at the moment I'm reading with an Archos 70b. I like it, it does, what it's supposed to do, but of course it's somewhat on the heavy side and battery life is awfully short. So I'm planning to buy an e-ink device.

I have quite a large ebook collection and spent some time in calibre to categorize and tag it. How do the most common ereaders compare when it comes to finding a certain book via tags or folder navigation?

A second point I am concerned about: I like to jump back and forth in a book while reading it. On my Archos (using the inbuild reader or CoolReader) I can jump directly to a page. I like the design of the Kobo, but as I understand in-book navigation is only by scrolling through the book, right? This sounds somewhat clumsy in larger books.

At the moment I am considering
# Kindle (although I would like a reader with native epub support and SD slot better)
# Kobo (best looks for me but don't know if I wouldn't like something with buttons better)
# Sony (don't like the looks)
# Pocketbook Pro 612 (quite expensive and not so stylish as Kobo but otherwise ...?)
Thanks a lot for any comment

Forget the Kindle. Management is not that good. Forget the Kobo, way too many bugs. The Sony has collections and is VERY EASY to manage. Can't speak for the Pocketbook.
