Since I already have a reader with an LCD screen, I would probably want one that used e-ink. I think that I'd like one that handled the .LIT format natively, and I probably would want one with a screen size larger than 5". WiFi capability might be cool since it could be used in free WiFi spots; I wouldn't want anything that I'd need a data plan for.

I haven't narrowed my requirement down further than that yet, but what about the rest of you? Is there a reader out there that falls into your "must-have" category, despite already having one (or more) reader(s) already?
BeBook One/Hanlin V3 is doing Microsoft .lit. But only DRM-free. When using DRM-free, you easily can convert into another format as well.
If, on the other hand, you want to have DRMed .lit, this only can be done on Microsoft platforms (Windows, CE, ...).
I've got some 500 (original, legally purchased) .lits. But I didn't mind, moved to another platform anyway.
So, basically you can go for any reader, as neither no eInk device or all eInk readers will meet your demands.
