EInk Pearl + Good library interface (must use epub)?
What Pearl based reader has the best user interface for scrolling/sorting/searching through books?
Looking for a 6" reader. |

Have you looked at the nook touch? It has 6" screen, pearl display and a good library(with cover art) UI.

The Kindle has excellent search features. It's the only one of the mainstream readers (as far as I know) which fully indexes your books so you can carry out library-wide searches.

I would agree with the above posters about the nook touch. The Sony ebook readers also work well, but are also very expensive. |

That's the reader to go for. It's supposed to be released in the US mid-September. There are threads all about the T1. So have a look and you'll find out more about it. The T1 is going to cost $149. |

But you know the Kindle doesn't support ePub. So that means it doesn't qualify. So why recommend it when it's wrong for the OP?

I can't recommend the nook STR. I don't like the way they do the top and bottom margins and the way they've divided the internal memory between B&N downloaded eBooks and others is just wrong.
