Hiho,

Please forgive me if this has already been asked/answered recently (I have searched extensively but have not found an answer) but: which 5-inch reader would people suggest for "normal" reading?

As some background, I have a well-used 505 which is nice but I want a 5-inch reader that I can put in my pocket and will be used for reading text books, not newspapers, manga, etc. The file format is not much of an issue, so long as PDF works okay and epub,etc is supported, as I mostly read stuff from the library on here.
The PRS300 is out really as it has no SD card slot and I've gone off Sony a bit, otherwise the only suitable units I can find easily and reasonably cheaply here in the UK are the BeBook mini (which I like) and the Elonex 511EB (which I don't much like). I don't need a touch screen and I don't really want to annotate.

Any ideas and comments would be great!

Regards
Mssr L'Pig
