Thanks to everyone for all the advice.

The Pocketbook 360 sounds like a really good reader. Based on pics it looks a little bulky and not very thin. I definitely want a reader that is pretty thin and lightweight. Also I think the Pocketbook may be a little more expensive than the Sony prs300.

I checked out the Sony prs300 at a Borders this afternoon. I like the screen and clearness of the text. Not sure about the response time on page turns. It was a little slower than I thought it would be. Seems like my ebookwise turns pages quicker than the Sony. I do also like the buttons on the right side - not very obtrusive - and the buttons on the bottom seemed to be easy to use. I also really like the hot pink color - very cute.

I think I'm going to just focus on getting either the Astak Pocket Pro or Sony prs300 since they are definitely in my price range and both seem like very good readers.

Which file formats work best on the Astak? Which ones work best on the Sony?
