I have to say, I'm not sure about the files it supports, however, and it is an older model afaik, so you'd have to check that out it you are interested.

I loved my old 1150s and 1200s but they are so dated that I can't imagine going back to them. The .IMP format is old and outdated and the screens are much dimmer and greenish compared to today's standards in backlit screens.

For backlit devices, battery life is certainly an issue but I think that will improve over time as technology progresses. Whatever you decide on, it will be outdated in a short time anyway!
