Im on the verge of just ordering another Neo, but i wanted to ask if there are alternatives that can meet the following requirements.
My requirements:
* No heavier than the Neo
* At least 6"
* Touchscreen (stylus or direct, i dont care)
* At least as good contrast as the Neo ( rules out the Sony readers (based on some statements that the contrast on the Sony's is poorer due to the overlaid touchscreen vs. the Neos Wacom screen).
* Dictionary support
* Available from a store within EU

You can exchange BeBook and Onyx firmware back and forth.
I don't have any problems at all with the BeBook Neo firmware.
But as the only difference between Neo and Boox lies in the firmware, this either should solve any problems or you'd have the very same problems on Boox.
iRex 800 already has been mentioned.
You rule it out: But still, Sony 900 may be worth checking out. The display quality is better than on Sony 600 or 700.
Personally, I wait for PocketBook 602. PocketBook 302 seems to be interesting, but has glare similar to Sony 600. You either can have PocketBook exchange the display later on (don't want that, don't want to send in any of my readers) or wait for the successor PocketBook 602.
