Hi. I just joined and have a question about the Pocket Edge. I bought one several weeks ago and have until next month to return it. I wanted a ereader and thought this would be great with the two screens-it was an impulse buy after only minimul research. Being pretty unsophisticated about ereaders, I narrowed down what I am looking for to what I must have and what would be nice:
Need
Memory. 3-4 mg + card expansion
web access-of course wi-fi, but free 3g would be nice
Access to library books!!!
Good battery life
Want
Color
not USB charging

I like the pocket edge, but it is a bit heavy. Also, I don't think it can access library books. Also, I can't figure out how to turn off the wi-fi so my battery drains pretty quickly. I love the web access, but no 3g. If I could figure out how to download library books, it would probably be okay. The other one I am considering is the sony 950. Black and white is a problem, but 3g, battery life, and library access are really important.
Anyone know a good option that combines all the things I am looking for in the $300 range and has a good rating by a lot of reviewers?
Thanks for your help!!!!
