What else?
In one universe, only Kindles go for me, since they have the Oxford Dictionary, which I thought was a must for me. In an alternative universe, however, really anything goes, but instead of picking a specific model, let's evaluate the companies making e-readers, based on factors like
- Support, warranty
- Design (hardware, software)
- Value (best bang for the buck)
- Using the latest and greatest technology (if such a thing exist in this field)
Hackability (the ability to add custom dictionaries, for example)
- Regional availability (Europe and North America, let's assume I have equal access to both markets, to make the competition even)
Do not assess specific models, but the brands themselves, based on the above parameters. To make it simpler, I don't care about the ecosystems (I read DRM-free, my only requirement is that I can add DRM-free material onto the device), just the devices (and the companies behind, support, design, etc.) themselves.
Feel free to give each company a star rating: 1 to 5 stars. Thank you!
Are there any comprehensive review sources out there assessing ALL (non-Kindle) devices?

Have you taken a look at this thread?
8+ Readers in Comparison I know that it's a little over a year old, but it still may be worth looking at?
