Hello,

I would like to buy an ebook reader for the first time. At the beginning I tried to look on the internet at reviews and on "normal" forum and the information that I found was really disappointing. I found this https://www.mobileread.com/forums , and I was really impressed with the diversity of choices and with many ways that you can modify a reader. Now I am coming to you with the same old question : Which one should I buy?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am interested in reading mainly PDF and also CHM, DOC, HTML, MOBI, BBeB, RTF, TXT probably in this order.

The size is not very important, and with this I mean that I have seen the Sony PRS-505s 5" screen a with the zoom (reflow function) looks fine for my eyes. So something around 6" (between 5" and 8") should be very suited for me. A 9"-10" looks kind of big and I don't think it would be very easy to carry it with me very often.

A very important thing for me is the existence of a dictionary (with multiple languages if it is possible).I would like also a search function and a very easy way to use that dictionary. I am prepared to hack the device if is necessary

.

I like the battery life of sonny devices (7500 pages) and I like also the eInk paper for my eyes.

I will consider a very big plus an WIFI/3G connection with a RSS feed and with a browser (and why not with a synchronization mechanism /timer).And also the Text to Speech function.

I am from Europe but I think I can order also from USA very easy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So having this in mind my list looks like this:
1.Sony PRS-600 Reader Touch Edition Or even PRS-700
2.iLiad
3.Hanlin V3

Pleas fill free to add any other device to this list!

Thank you in advance for your advices and best regards!
