Have you considered the Sony 650? Except for wi-fi and the screen size the 650 is basically identical to the 950--and it is quite a bit cheaper than the 950.
I'm very happy with my 650--my husband has one as well. He uses the translation dictionaries on his 650 extensively and is very impressed with them. He also uses his 650 to view technical PDFs and is satisfied with that for the most part--it does do landscape well, and has quite a few zoom options.
I don't know anything about the pocketbook, so I can't comment on that.
Good luck with your decision!
