At least one person here complained about how hard it is to turn pages on the Cool-er. Likewise the DS is a bit large if you have bad hands.
Go to the ereader matrix and compare weights:

I think the 5 inch devices will be lighter and best suit your needs, unless your eyes need really big print. I would also prioritize easy page turning that doesn't cramp your hands. For me this would suggest the pocketbook, or Hanlin V5 because of the way they turn the pages. However, you will find boosters here of the Sony 300 and the Cybook Opus.
My current bias is towards the Astak Pocket Pro Ezreader (The Hanlin V5 in the matrix) available at the end of this month in North America at http://www.theezreader.com/html/index.htm and available from www.astak.com for international shipments. I believe, however, that the same unit is available internationally from Bebook. |
The Hanlin 5" will read the stuff I have now (even my old Brother Cadfael books in a weird format) and it comes in purple! (And it's on sale until September)
