Thank you guys for all your comments, I'll wait on some about the C67ML as well before proceding (the difference in price is quite noticeable after all). I think that considering the less resolution screen and the bigger hassle to get it, I'll leave the InkBook aside, so minus one candidate.
In the mean time, would anybody like to comment on this review of the obsidian: http://goodereader.com/blog/electron...-reader-review particularly this paragraph here and how it reflects on the devices:

Quote:
Many e-readers on the market have a front-lit display, which allows you to read in the dark. Unlike a smartphone or tablet, the light does not emit from behind the screen, instead there are normally five LED lights built into the bottom or top of the bezel and project light upwards. Front-lit displays are hard to get right and many companies face huge challenges in order to give people a solid experience. I have found that the best front-lit displays have the screen flush with the bezel. It helps contain the light within a fixed area. This is why the Nook Glowlight Plus, Kindle Paperwhite 2, Tolino Shine 1, Onyx Boox and Pocketbook products all have whats known as light spillage. If you are in a very dark room and have the luminosity levels between 50% and 100% you will start to notice discoloration at the top and bottom of the screen. Additionally, most of these e-readers also suffer from a blueish hue to the screen. This is why I am very bullish about screens that are flush with the bezel, you absolutely get the best lighting system currently available.
Also, I forgot to ask: how's the ghosting in the devices?
