Hi,

I am in the market for a new ereader. Specifically, my wishlist:

- supports Chinese text files (preferably in their native GB2312 encodings, not just unicode).
- displays manga scanlations well (I had the Astak EZReader which does the Chinese text files great, but the manga jpeg files were completely unreadable)
- can zoom into the manga files.
- matte screen (not glossy, no touchscreen).
- preferably has a removable battery
- can read files off an external SD or other type of memory card
- can store files in folders
- the bigger the e-ink screen, the better (this is icing on the cake).
- removable battery

The original Astak EZReader (Hanlin) met every one of my requirements EXCEPT being able to read the manga scanlations. It doesn't support PDF files with embedded images very well at all, and its display of the original (hi-res) JPEG files was a nightmare. The text was not readable at all, and I couldn't zoom.

Anyone know any e-readers out there that would fit my requirements?
