Simply that the bulk of my reading is from library ebooks. In the UK, these are all DRMd EPUB using the ADE DRM. If I wanted to read them on my Kindle, I had to remove the DRM; that is not legal, and morally questionable. The Bookeen handles these books with no problems. I solved the 'locking up' problem by doing a factory reset. The only way to do that is to remove everything including the system files, and to reinstall the firmware. Then wait ... and wait .... and wait. After that, the locking up problem seems to have gone away except for when the battery is showing less than 90% charge.
The basic features you mention are ones I can manage without. Searching on the Kindle is slow. I always resorted to doing it on a laptop at a later time. Bookmarking? I have a pencil and a scrap of paper ....
I'll have to see what happens batterywise. I guess by the time it happens, I'll be looking at a newer bit of tech. Meanwhile, I can have more than one reference book on the go at any one time. A bit like the 'pads' on the Enterprise.
