im looking for a portable video player?

so i used to have a functional nook color but after awhile i stopped buying books and it bcame mostly a video/music player for me but now the thing finally broke down on me. since id like to continue watching my anime on the commute to work im looking to buy a simple portable video player and save myself some money instead of replacing the nook color which i dont really need.

ive seen 2 players that caught my eye, the aluratek cinepal and the coby hd video player. ive heard alot of good things AND bad things about both of these players and id like to know if they are just disgruntled people that dont properly take care of their electronics or are they flawed players?

if you are going to recommend something else then please, nothing smaller then a 7 inch screen as it gets too hard to read subtitles with a screen any smaller then that (and yes for the record i know that alot of things, the nook color included, doesnt support MKVs but handbrake takes care of that)
