I have not done any long-term tests, but so far it does what I want. One small issue it has though. When reflowing the pdfs, it sticks some words together and ignores the space between them, but I am sure that they will fix that in a future upgrade of the firmware.

Is it just me or is the Foxit eslick the same exact device as the Cybook gen3 and the Pocketbook 301?
Cybook 3
PB301
Foxit
I'm also looking for a nice device, pdf is an issue for me too, but unless you buy a 8" screen or bigger, it will potentially be problematic, without converting the file.
But really, I'm still very undecided, what to go for.
- a PB 360 seems more rugged than other devices, nice custom stuff
- a Cybook Opus (because I could get it much cheaper than a PB 360 and the hardware is the same)
- the updated 6" Bebook One (16 greyscales which should be nice for pdfs with images right?)
- 6" Pocketbook 301 which costs about the same as a the Bebook and PB 360.
- the foxit reader, possibly same thing as Cybook 3 and/or PB 301 at a significantly cheaper price (200 Euros compared to about 250), but in germany availabe only from one ebay seller
The latter make it pretty hard to decide for a 5" PB 360 at about 250€.
I find that this one inch difference is actually making a big difference.
Tough choice, I think.
Have to do some more research and I guess I'll have to make a specific post for myself with all the questions I have
