Lost my Cybook, now what?

I lost my Cybook about two weeks ago, on a trip abroad, and I'm looking for a replacement. Not necessarily for immediate purchase, since I'm not a heavy user, and I do have other options (like the Fujitsu P1510D subnotebook I was using before), so even things around the corner are fine.

I'd prefer something with secure Mobipocket support, but I could probably live with plain Mobipocket, since some of my e-books are "out of print", and I won't be able to re-download them with a new PID anyway, so would have to remove the DRM. If I get that done, I'd probably have no problem doing it to the rest of my book. Still, it'd obviously be more convenient to have that support built-in.

I was thinking of the 5" readers, because I like smaller devices in general, and the resolution is the same, only lower, which is fine for me for now. (Always liked small text, though I'm at an age when I'm starting to have just a little bit of trouble seeing small text from up close, so in a couple of years that might be a more serious problem -- nothing glasses won't solve, though.)

Another option I've been entertaining is the UMID M1. I love tiny PC's, and I'd be able to do a lot of things on it that I can't on a reader. It has a slightly higher resolution and will be able to display other formats I can't read on an e-reader (such as Zinio) or can see in only a limited way (such as PDF), and in colour. On the other hand it probably won't look as good in the sun, doesn't have the book format, and battery will last a lot less.

What do you think?
