I tend to view this in the same way that I do extended warranties. I don't go into a purchase assuming that it's going I'm going to break it. Yes, everything has a lifespan, and things
do break or malfunction, but I refuse to allow the possibility of a malfunction somewhere down the road inhibit what I do.

The larger models, although its nice to have such a big screen, aren't as portable.

Since you haven't said what type of e-books (university text books, regular fiction, RPG's, something else?) you intend to use this device for, none of us can really speak to this. I can tell you that I use mine for RPG's nearly all of which are 8 1/2" x 11", so my DR 1000s is FAR, far more portable than a half dozen of those.
If you're going to use to display normal fiction books, then getting a Sony and converting all your PDF's might satisfy your needs at a much cheaper price, but if you need a text book size screen, then the Sony really won't accomplish what you want.

And are the highlighting or suspend problems resolved? If not, its just a larger reader.

I've had mine close to 7 months and haven't had an suspend problems, so I'm not sure about that.
