For those that may have experience with the devices I'm considering, what are your general impressions? Which device do you prefer? How much of an advantage is the larger screens of the 900 and the dr800 vs. A 6 in screen like the Boox (Neo)? Does the dr800 have dictionary support?
Thanks in advance for any information!

I only have experience with the Sony 900 and I returned it after 3 days. I just did not like the display. In my opinion the touch layer reduces the clarity too much. I've had both the 500 and 505 in the past and I just can't understand why Sony is making feature decisions that impact readability. If you typically read with a big font it probably won't be an issue, but if you read with a font closer to that of a regular book it is a pretty big difference compared to the 505 or the viziplex version of the iLiad. I expect the DR800 will use the same screen as the iLiad which puts in on par or slightly ahead of the Sony 505. I'll be picking up the DR800SG as soon as it hits the stores.
