I realise that the Elonex has been ruled out by WigglePig, but this has been a good thread and others could be interested, so apologies to continue banging the 511EB drum! ...

The ePub/PDF rendering on the Elonex is also excellent, with full justification in ePub. (Though reading a multi-column PDF on a 5" device isn't really viable. There is a reflow option, which works as well as could be expected.) Never had a crash on it either.

My main comparison when purchasing the 5" was between the Elonex and the slightly more expensive Sony, comparing both to my beloved Cybook Gen3, and the Elonex won pretty much hands down.

I'd love a PB360 as well, but I may have difficulty justifying that one to my wife. Hmm. Maybe I should buy her a PB360...
