Yeah, I have one "major issue" — I'm cheap.
Besides the 212 vs 300 dpi screen, the HD 3 is also waterproof (which isn't a big deal for me), has sound (for audio books – which I don't use – and TTF, which I've only used occasionally on older Kindles and might try on the HD3). The TL5 has two main advantages, a microSD slot (which I also don't use) and is about $50 or $60 cheaper. (I've never paid more than $75 for an eReader, but I've made up for it in volume.)
I've been mostly reading on two PocketBooks lately. My PB615 and TL3, both use E-Carta 212 ppi screens (with 8 LEDs) and they seem to be fine. But I need to make a closer comparison to my 300 dpi screens before I make any decision. If the Touch Lux 3's battery would stay up, that would probably work just fine.
