Thanks for the advice Wallcraft. Tough choice. I really like the armour cover for the 360 to reduce size, very clever - this was nearly going to swing it for me. However I don't like the page-turn click and it looks too wide. And I don't want or need a highly customizable device where I end up spending more time configuring it than reading on it. I like the styling and simple button layout of the Opus, however the plastic exterior looks flimsy. I think I may plump for the Pocket Pro\BeBook Mini, as a compromise. It is slightly cheaper, looks solid, has slightly better hardware, yet is slightly smaller than the other two, even if it does look like a calculator gone wrong. Plus I see no need for an accelerometer - would prefer to rotate screen via a button if I ever need to.
