I've been contemplating buying an Ebook reader and recently I got a promo email from MPH about the new iriver Story which is retailing for RM1,199. When I went to their website I also saw the Hanlin V5 which is cheaper but not by much. I'm leaning towards the iriver given the fact that it supports up to 32GB external memory while the Hanlin's maximum is 4GB.

However, the Hanlin supports more formats: PDF, MOBI, DOC, WOLF, MP3, HTML, TXT, CHM, FB2, Djvu, PNG, TIF, GIF, BMP, JPG, PPT, EPUB, LIT, PRC. The iriver can support: EPUB, PDF, TXT, DOC, PPT, XLS. I'm guessing that in future the format of choice would be EPUB? So really I'm not missing out on much if I go for the iriver right?

Does anyone have any experience with either devices? I'm open to other brands provided that its available locally and is in the same price range.

Thanks in advance.
