Perhaps you should list less Kindles and a few real alternatives who don't have shady business practices such as Amazon and their Kindle. http://www.bookeen.com/en/

Anyone has some more alternatives for a bigger eReader?
Just seen bookeen, need some more, please.

For some reason E-ink screens are just not moving to 7 inch. I think it would be ideal. Any bigger and it becomes so large to use as a book.

These comparisions are wonderful! Keep them coming! @Jo Rodrigues, thanks for the tip, this 8" reader looks very interesting if it will have high resolution and reasonable price.

Ok, so which readers can read which DRM (paid) formats? Nooks read Barnes and Nobles books and if you root them, can load an app to read Amazon books. Amazon's readers read Amazon books, can they read other DRM formats, even with an app? What formats does Kobo support?
Frankly, I'd think this info should be in ANY e-reader review! Come to think of it, are there any other formats (other than e-pub) that people sell books in?

@ Kris Lee: I would avoid going bigger than 7 inch for reading books. The reason is that the machine becomes too big to carry around and to hold while you read for a few hours. Think of it as holding a heavy, large format book. It gets uncomfortable. Another important aspect is that a normal screen is active, the E-ink isn't. The screen emits no more radiation than a normal page. If you plan on reading books, E-ink is for you. If you plan on reading magazines then go for the larger format LCD type screen. Don't make the mistake of thinking you will be reading for hours on anything other than E-ink. You won't, your eyes will tire a lot quicker. Unfortunately at this point in time there is no real compromise between the two. If you want to do more than flip through a glossy magazine you need to get E-ink technology.
