I recommended the Hanlin V3 because you wanted this to be as easy as possible for the attendee. The V3 reads many many formats without any need for conversion. The Kindle does not.

As for the Netronix EB-611, it hasn't been released yet. That is why I didn't recommend it to you. But since it runs Windows CE, it should be able to support a broad selection of formats. All the ones you might expect to read on Windows should be accessible. Unfortunately, we won't know if this is true until the device is released. The manufacturer might have tweaked the OS in such a way as to make the third party software unusable.
