Am really impressed with everything the Astak will do for the $199 and it includes the wall charger and a cover. I don't live near a Frys so getting the great price with rebate isn't possible.

Out of curiosity, can you buy DRMd EPUBs and read them on the Astak?

My favorite format on the astak so far. Although, probably only tried format.

I ordered the Astak EZ Pro 5 inch reader in black this evening. Gave up on the Sony 505. My daughter found the Sony 505 in the Richfield, Minnesota Target on clearance today for $195.98, but with the tax and shipping, it was way over the price of the Astak. The Astak also comes with a wall charger and leather cover. It should work well with those pesky Overdrive library ebooks that my Kindle DX can't read.
Don't know how long it will take for the reader to get here, but it is officially on order.

Congrats. Now I'm just waiting for some sort of notice when mines will finally get back. My mom has the EZ Reader I recently bought. My broke one will probably be a week. I can't wait to tinker with it though.
