Harry , bbusybookworm thanks for your help.

I looked at different topics in the forum and have seen the e-ink devices matrix which is very good by the way. There are a lot of good options but the price and shipping fees for some are not good for me. My price is around 275$ that could be raised to 300$ if the specs and details are good for my needs. So, my option is to buy from USA throu my brother who studies there.
I like the sony reader and its price but also I liked the Hanlin devices because they have SDK and that might help one day to provide better support for Arabic. (Am I mistaken here?).

I searched the Internet and found that there is only EZ reader in USA. Its preorder price is about 299$ (for the first 100 I think). That is about 30$ difference between this device and the sony one.

Which one should I go with do you think? Or Should I wait for new devices to come that will give me better options?

I expect to buy another device after two years if I am happy with the first one. So, Is wiating a good choice because there will be always better option down the road.

Thanks
