I am thinking of buying an eReader. It is not a matter of days, but within the next month or so I would love to order one.

While getting into the necessary read I mainly came across two models (not counting the amazon DX):

The Onyx Boox M96 and the Icarus eXceL 9.7.

What strikes me about the M96 is the ability to use other Android-Apps and a decent (at least I hope so) stylus capability. Also it seems to just enter the market so I hopefully won't be buying "old tech".
Both do not seem to have back lighting included. :-(

Getting back to the forum title:
Which one should I get?

Am I missing out on some other model (or feature) I should consider?

Thanks for your help!

PS: Usage will be mostly pdf's. A smaller one is definitely not an option. I would love 3G (but I don't see this happening) and a long battery life.
