I have to accept that I have to replace my old reader -- the battery time is too painfully short now. I like PocketBook, so I'll get a Verse or Era, as soon as I've decided if I'd rather have something small that fits into a pocket or a bigger screen.

I'm also wondering about black/white vs colour. I mostly read text, so I won't use colour often. Are there any disadvantages (except for the higher price) of colour? Does it slow down things, or does the black and white text look worse on a colour screen than on a monochrome one?
