I've replaced my Sony 700. I am an extremely fast reader. The screen was small enough that it seemed like all I did was flip pages - it really slowed down my reading. So, when I looked for a new ereader, size was very important (but, it still had to fit into my favorite pocket book

)
I ended up choosing the Irex 800sg and have not been disappointed. The Nook, while cute, did not have any more reading space than my 700 and the Sony 900 didn't have much more, just a few lines. I think the 700 is the same size as the Nook. I just compared my (soon to be sold) 700 to the Irex 800sg. In their cases, the Irex is 1 inch longer and 1 inch wider and less then 1/4 inch taller, but with a much larger reading surface.
I also didn't care whether the reader had wifi, dictionary, etc - I just wanted to read books.
Hope I've helped.

Neo, I can live with the design and I heard the features are great.
I have an irrational dislike for Kindle, so no Kindle.
I want it for reading fiction books, format mostly lits, some pdfs and htmls. Dictionary is nice to have but not a must. Ease of use, bookmarking, recently read etc. No crashing, sudden reboots, etc.
I’m looking at 6” device, paperback size. Sony and Irex are bit too big for me I think.
3G, wifi, annotation and other feature not really important. I will mostly be downloading books to my laptop and then to the device.
Another question, do any of the device comes with a wall charger, coz most of them I see only comes with a usb which you need to stick to your computer to charge.
