Thanks!

My old Iriver has a 6-inch screen. I mostly use it for reading epubs, because it's too cramped for pdfs, but if something happens to the Iriver, then some of the 6-inch options would be good.

How do you tell Oasis 1 from Oasis 2?

Is the Boox fix specific to the Max 2 or does it apply to their other devices too?

Neither of my current devices can read password-protected pdfs or jpeg 2000 images in pdfs. While k2 is very good at converting scanned pdfs, it's been hard to find something better and sufficiently reliable for converting pdf-born-pdfs. I thought I had a solution using Ghostscript, but it sometimes outputs broken pdfs. I also have a more drastic solution using Lighten Pdf to Epub+.

So I'm wondering what pdfs each device can handle. Any idea where to find the info?
