Thank you all for your advices.
From your answers I understand that, right out the box, the Cybook seems to be the more adequate, but others like the Hanlin, with improved software/firmware may be as good or even better. Am I correct?
The iliad is far too expensive for me, so, it's out of question.
To iterati and DixieGal that also have vision problems, I suffer from retinal degeneration and cataract. I'm able to read very small text (i.e. this forum on an ipod touch), but very near my eyes and during short time. Besides, backlighted screens like TFTs or the ipod one turn my eyes very tired after a while. I also use "reversed colors", white text on dark gray background, as the white or brilliant backgrounds make my vision blurred, but it's not comfortable for me to read a whole book on the computer.
Anyway, I'm strongly dependent on light conditions. Direct shinning sun can be as bad as dim light.
I live in Zaragoza (Saragossa).
Yesterday, I had a Cybook on my hands. The light wasn't very good but I think I could read well on it. I also see a Papyre (spanish rebranding of the Hanlin) in another shop, but it had no charge, so I couldn't test it. I'll go back this shop in a few days.
Unfortunately, there is no shop here to see both models hand by hand to compare them. The Sony is not available either (I mean in my city, in other places in Spain it is).
And that's all by the moment.
Sorry for my English but hope it's understandable.
Thank you very much again.
