I have had no problems with the hardware on my EZ Reader. There have been some reports of sticking keys and more reports of either battery or SD card issues (which may be related, i.e. some SD cards needing a good battery). The V5 has SDHC support and presumably a newer Linux kernel, so the SD card issues may go away. The only issue I have with the software is that by supporting so many formats the quality of support is highly variable between formats. I would say that FB2 is best, and I am hoping that the new mobile ADE for ePub is at least as good as the old MOBI support. On the Hanlin V3, OpenInkPot is a viable alternative which has been more stable (e.g. to SD card issues) than the official firmwares. One difference between the Hanlin and Netronix devices is the number of font sizes. Hanlin has either 3 or 5 (depending on format) and the Netronix has 8. OpenInkPot has lots of font sizes.
