So, time for a new reader.
I want:
1) 6"
2) Good Mobipocket support. I have a LARGE Mobi collection and would prefer not to have to convert.
3) Not essential, but a very-nice-to-have as future-proofing: ePUB support.
I have narrowed it down to:
1) Just getting a new Gen3.
Pros:
I already know and love it.
Very good Mobi support.
Cons:
Somewhat pricey.
No ePUB support (at least not without losing Mobi, which is a no-no)
2) BEBOOK.
Pros:
Cheaper than the Gen3
Supports both Mobi and ePUB.
Local support (I am in the Netherlands)
Cons:
Rather limited number of font sizes, and I like lots of text on screen.
Poorer Mobi support?
Decisions, decisions... Any ideas? Other options? I don't much like the Kindle, and the Sonys don't do Mobi.

Is your computer still able to see it? I had a similar problem with mine and it wouldn't mount on the computer but when I connected it to the computer it allowed me to format it. I then did a Cybook format flash and it's been working since.
