Can anyone recommend an ebook reader? I need one that
1) allows me to read my own PDFs and taking notes under Linux;
2) is sold and (well) supported in Israel;
3) doesn't require me to have a non-Linux machine to flash the updates;
4) doesn't require me to go online to download my own content to it;
5) isn't illegal to have in Israel because of its wireless
capabilities (in fact, I'd like to be able to disable any wireless
technology and not to use it anyway).
Something for which I don't have a desktop sync app in Linux as
opposed to Mac/Win and have to mount the reader as a usb storage
device is fine.
For a global picture, there is a cool "master list" over at

Went for onyx M92, and I was pleasantly surprised how good things work
out of the box with linux --- no rooting, no special hack installations
needed.
Annotation works very well, too, as well as reviewing it back on Linux
workstation.
The only thing that doesn't work well out of the box is
hyperref-produced hyperlinks in the PDF --- the Adobe PDF reader shipped
in the reader isn't too intuitive. Need to install another reader app
for that. Another minor annoyance is the silly confirmation question
whenever you exit a PDF --- back from the days when the reader used to
forget the last position in a book, no longer the case...
Didn't need to contact the support in Israel yet, hopefully won't during
the warranty period at all :)
