The Hanlain V3 is supposedly going to add Mobipcoket support sometime soon. And if they do, you'll have DRM Mobipocket with proper folder support there.

Also Sony is going to be adding ePub support to the 505 so that will help with ePub books being sold now and in the future. So it's a hard choice. The conversion tools for the 505 make it's like outlast the Sony eBook store.

The Gen3, I am reading about problems with firmware updates. Wait till they get sorted.

The Kindle will read non-DRM Mobipocket format.

Then there is the Astak ones coming out with eReader or Mobipocket using 6" and 9.7" screens.
