Note that the FBReader port for Hanlin/lbook/etc V3 is a community effort. I still like Coolreader (it comes with the official firmware) best for reading fb2 because the better header and also the true page numbering. FBreader assumes that a page is about 2000 characters long; it's a feature of the original feature and not just the port. Ad for html, rtf, pdf, doc, whatever Hanlin support them natively.
I got the Hanlin because it's an "open" device, it uses a common Nokia battery (you can find clones for 1 euro if needed), it supports folder and especially because there are frequent updates.
Ad for DRM, the publishers realised that for music is a lost cause and for instance Amazon offers DRM-free mp3. e-books market is very limited but I hope that they'd grasp that we don't want such limitations. Example, I won't buy a shirt that it'd allow me to wear it in a specific town and nowhere else... Baen did it right but is a small publishers.
