I have had a Cybook for about 1 1/2 years and I'm beginning the process of deciding on an upgrade. I've really slacked off over the last 6 months and haven't been keeping up with the news and upcoming models. Here are my base criteria, tell me what I should be looking into or waiting for.

8 inch screen
Thin form factor(similar to cybook)
No need for wireless
Decent battery life(I'd like to get at least 1 book out of each charge)
Mobipocket DRM support

I have no specific needs for internal storage, I save most of my books to my pc and just upload my next few at a time. A touch screen wouldn't be bad. One thing I want is a comfortable next page button that is a bit more functional than the Cybook. I read a lot, I'd like this one to hold up better than my Cybook. It's starting to do a lot of creaking and internal part movement. I probably use it at least an hour a day if not two hours.
