Ended up going with a Kobo Touch ereader, Mostly for price and local availibility

It is very good as a reader, a fairly big jump in book loading and screen performance from the EcoReader. It has a progress bar of sorts (Page X of Blah), but no time display, but I can get over that.

What I find I miss the most, is not having to manage the books on my reader. the EcoReader, you just stick books on the SDCard, browse to them and you can read. Remove them from the SDCard, and they're gone. With the Kobo, you have to use the Kobo desktop or Calibre to remove and add books. And browsing a lot of books is a pain with a flat list display on the reader. Slight change in behaviour, and I'm fine. Load only a few books at a time, delete them as read, and I'm Ok enough for now

Thanks for the message though.
