I don't have ADE on my Linux computer (and can't seem to make Wine work for the job), so that point is moot for me. Most of the books I read now are library books from Overdrive, so I'm not moving them into Calibre anyhow. But there are some DRM ePubs I buy from bookstores that I'll just have to read on the PocketBooks or Tolinos (they can also be stored on PocketBook's or Tolino's Cloud). I mostly use Calibre to convert Amazon books into ePub.

The 6" screen doesn't (personally) bother me but, more importantly in regards to this thread, the PocketBook HD 3 was one the three devices the OP specifically brought up and asked about.

I like the 6.8" screen on my Kobo Aura HD, but find the 7.8" screen on the Tolino Epos too big and bulky. But I also like my 6" (even 5") screens. I'm near-sighted and (so far) am able to read fairly small type, so smaller screens and smaller fonts are not (yet) problems for me. I'm almost 65, so that may change at some point.

The smaller screen is more convenient for carrying. I do think a 6.8" screen is a good compromise and kind of wish PocketBook would market one of that size.
