Hello again,
Forget what I said in the original post: after several weeks of careful market review, I went for the (red) Sony PRS-600.
The first experience is so-so, as the first device refused to turn on and I had to get back to the store to get a new one (they gave me a memory stick with 100 books to cover for the trouble though - good attitude from the Sony store).
I am still struggling to get ADE-protected books on the device, but the reading experience itself (by far the most important aspect) is very rewarding.
What led me to this particular device is the 'right' combination of features:
1 - 'open' reader (supports epub and many more)
2 - the touch-screen makes it almost button-less, which, being the B&O lover type, I enjoy (actually, this reader is more an object that a device ==> more 'socially' acceptable)
3 -Books management, through the use of collections (especially with the beautiful calibre software) fulfills the promise of '1000+ books on a single apparatus'
4 - seamless access to an english dictionary is exactly what I need
5 - I found that the red model is very nice looking
Regards form the most beautiful city in the world,
Thierry
