Library support I would be happy to have, but other than that I'm not overly bothered. I have a stable Gen3 that has lasted over a year without any resets and it does what I want it to do - namely load with books and read .... dictionary support works well........(another issue with ePub [may change]).

But it seems recently that Fictionwise is shifting away from mobipocket... Dan Brown latest book, "The Lost Symbol" is not offered in Mobipocket, only in eReader... Books on board, on the other hand has it only in ePub...

If this trend continue, we may have to shift to ePub...
