Hello there!

Given that I move lots between various countries, I am looking for an ereader that is able to handle multiple public library standards, i.e. 3M, OverDrive and the German onleihe.de system.

What I understand is that 3M Cloud generally runs on all Kobo and Android devices, while OverDrive is a browser-based system and should thus not be dependent on any given device. I have been told that onleihe.de allows direct downloads without a laptop only with the following models: Tolino, PocketBook Touch Lux 3 and some Onyx models. However, others told me that onleihe.de works with all Android ereaders.

Thus far I have been looking at the following models:
* inkBOOK Obsidian (inkbook.eu/shop/inkbook-obsidi…lt-in-light-android-apps/)
* tolino shine 2 HD
* PocketBook Touch Lux 3
* Energy Sistem Energy Pro (old model)
* Onyx Boox C67ML Carta 2

Does anyone have experience with these devices? I really like the design of the PocketBook Touch Lux 3, yet its Linux OS does cause me some worries with regards to 3M Cloud compatibility. To me it seems as though the Onyx Boox C67ML Carta 2 is probably the best buy (even though it is pot ugly) given its Android OS and it being one of the very few Android readers that come with a headphone jack for audiobooks.

Anyone got any thoughts?
