I don't know about the end of summer. I'm guessing they're gonna hold off until the "holiday season". Get some great deals on "black Friday" etc. But if you want one now, this is the best deal...

I see you're in NYC. Mine shipped from NJ so I assume that's how you got yours so quickly. I expect it'll take a bit longer to get mine to CA.

It's official, I ordered a Nook Wi-Fi today. A few months back I was gonna get an Astak PP, but ran into cash flow issues. While researching again, the B+N price drop hit and there's simply nothing...

Official specs have it weighing less than the 3G so chances are the 3G interface was removed. I assume that's saving them a nice chunk of change (that and the connectivity) and that's the $50...

That's assuming the publishers get their heads out of their asses and lower prices on digital editions. But otherwise, I agree that it's a win-win for the consumer.

I hate to say it but this will be a huge blow to Astak unless they can lower their price to $150 at most. I almost bought a PP a few months back but I ran into cash flow issues. Recently I've been...

Can someone confirm, please, if I can use files converted in Calibre (ePub or what-have-you) on a Nook? I don't really need the 3G stuff so the $149 Nook seems like a screaming deal. I just want to...

I read the specs on the matrix and the Kobo is supposed to be the same speed as the PP (at least according to hardware specs). Does the software make that big of a difference?

Hi all,

I'm looking to find the practical differences between the 5" and 6" EZReader. According to the matrix, the 6" has a slower processor and the older controller, but the screen refresh time...

I was just going to post the same thing. I was pretty close to set on the EZReader Pocket Pro, but that that price it's hard to pass up.
