I don't own an e-ink reader yet (just can't decide which one to pick...) but I'd like to clear something up about the Hanlin. Hanlin is the generic name of the device, and there are various companies that took the device and added their own software (OS) on it. Eco Reader is the name in Australia, EZReader in the States, BeBook in the Netherlands, etc.

To expand on that slightly: the devices are actually made by a company called "Jinke". Jinke sell them themselves under the "Hanlin" brand name, and also licence them to other companies who sell them with their own "brands" - BeBook, AzTak, etc. In most cases, the firmware of these "clones" is pretty much the same as that of the Hanlin "original" - eg all the Jinke devices use the same ADE implementation; all support more or less the same range of file formats, and so on. The firmware differences between the devices is very minor.
