If the Hanlin hardware is better, but firmware isn't good, would putting on openinkpot, or some other firmware, be good? Does the faster processor in the Mentor Lite really translate to that much of a page turning difference?
Soooo many questions! They are both on sale this week at Newegg, so I need to make a decision.
Thanks for any imput.

If Hanlin V3 is a catch (in my opinion, would have to be below $ 200), you can go for it. There isn't very much progress, Hanlin V3 (I've got BeBook One) still is close enough to the actual state-of-the-art readers.
Personally, I find it "ugly and cheap looking", but its featureset still is quite impressive.
But to me, it really would be about the price. You can have recent models for $ 250, some even for $ 200. Hanlin V3 would have to be way below that, to still be interesting enough.
