A couple of questions I hope you or someone can answer.
- The screen, how strong does it feel? roughly the same durability of a LCD screen?
- Cleaning the screen, use window cleaner or treat it like a LCD screen and use damp cloth or LCD cleaner?
- Updates. The Eco Reader being a rebranded Hanlin, does it use the same firmware updates as the Hanlin or BeBook?
- Adding books. Does this require you to install software on your PC, or do you just plug it in and it show up as a removable drive on your computer? I'm asking as I am an Linux user.
Now out of sheer curiosity, where do people prefer to buy their ebooks from? I have found a few good sites (mobipocket.com for example) but when looking at the prices of dymocks.com.au the cost is usually the same as a paperback, even sometimes greater (hardly worth it IMHO)
Thanks in advance. I'm very close to getting one.
Cheers,
Edit: Forgot to add, how well does the Eco Reader go with .PDFs? Is a A4 size pdf readable on the Eco Reader?

I have tried dymocks (or looked at their site) and find thier prices to be way over the top. fictionwise and all the other usual sites can be problematic with " geographical restrictions" (those hated words) so, I have had great success with diesel ebook store. Every book that I have wanted I've been able to puchase without any problems. So, have a look at the site, you won't be disappointed. By the way, I have the bebook which is the same as the one you are getting and I really like it. I am now considering a Sony prs-600.
