Much thanks - I hadn't considered the shipping. Cost is a tad lower too.

Since I'll be sharing the device with my wife, this would be a real help. So would the bundle with 2 sd-cards since my wife & I can split them and have our own 'bookshelves...'
A couple of other reviews on the forum say that PDF support is good too.

Convenience sounds great, but I won't be able to buy the Kindle in the next month:-(

I noticed the firmware upgrades listed on the Hanlin Gen3 wiki page. I think this would make a difference in the long-run. Much thanks - this is really helpful. Looks like it's down to the EZ Reader & Cybook, with the edge to the EZ Reader. I really wish I could get my hands on these to get a feel for them...
