I'm also in the same boat; looking for a large screen reader (for technical/IT books and other educational stuff, maybe some light reading too).

Initially I was drooling over the Jetbook Color (and especially the bragging rights of owning the only color e-ink round here LOL).
But after seeing enough pics and vids, I decided the background was too dark to give the product versatility in most lighting conditions (it's only good in bright light or sunlight)
That was my ONLY real gripe with this reader (I was willing to live with the muted/washed out colours).

I could still see the advantages of a large screen reader though, and from all the vids so far, M92 seems to be the best performing one (pearl screen, quick loading PDFs, Annotations, Wifi, pen tablet touchscreen).
I've read a lot of horror stories about M90, and hopefully M92 doesn't suffer the same fate? And there might still be future firmware updates?

From http://wn.com/Jbaach videos, I would say I prefer the screen of M92, even though he himself prefers Pocketbook? (I guess it's a case of whiter screen (PB) vs darker text/contrast (M92)).

This has also been posted elsewhere, but shows how fast the M92 performs.

I'll still take a look around for now, but for me M92 is currently leading the pack
