Criterias: My very personal "gut feeeling" = How likely is it, to take the respective unit on a trip when I have to care about luggage? (*)

#15: BeBook One (a bit ugly, looks a bit cheap)
#14: Sony 300 (don't like turning pages with the 5-way-button)
#13: Sony 700 (great unit, but given Sony 600 it has lost its place)
#12: Cybook Gen3 (nice unit, especially after the firmware update. But no real arguments against Kindle 2 and others)
#11: iRex 1000S (great unit, but too bulky for me)
#10: Sony 600 (very pleasant surprise, but given Sony 900 it has lost its place)
#9: Kindle DX (flawless, but the big screen doesn't have any real advantage to me and makes it bulky. Maybe with more advanced PDF support?)
#8: Sony 505 (still one of my favorites, but no real advantage over Sony 900)
#7: iRex iLiad (still one of my alltime favorites, but replaced by iRex 800)
#6: Cybook Opus (only a niche product for me, 5" often difficult to read. But within its niche it's phantastic)
#5: Kindle 2 (there's a reason why Amazon is considered market leader)
#4: iRex 800 (has grown on me and we've learned a lot in our dialogue with iRex)
#3: BeBook Neo (great featureset, way ahead of iRex 800. In Europe, way cheaper than iRex 800 [and even in the US $ 100 cheaper than iRex 800]. Has potential "to kill them all". Lacks some design "polishing" though)
#2: Nook (very elegant, very positive surprise. No problems at all with the touchscreen. And I love the B&N shop and to download eBoks via WiFi)
#1: Sony 900 (a real beauty. Display quality a bit below iRex 800, but more than acceptable)

(*) Of course, the "new" factor matters. It's more likely to take my new BeBook Neo with me to do some further experiments, than taking my "veteran unit" iRex iLiad.
