Any comments?

I own a PB 902, and i am very happy with it. I like it a lot that i can use bigger fonts when reading a book, without the page feeling crammed in
I also read Manga, i convert them from .cbz to .pdf with Calibre, and they look spectacular! Even smallish print is very readable.
Portability is less , i intend to buy a firm netbook case to take it with me, until then it stays next to my bed on my night-stand
. I have the (fake) leather cover for it, it is huge! The included sleeve is for portability a lot better.
The TTS is great! And the support is also very fast and friendly.
I have tried support for my Sony PRS 600 when that was my main reader, but that is non-existent. Other then bring it in for a check is not on script, and answering questions is a no-no.
Also new firmware is a rare beast for Sony, for improvements you will have to buy the new machine.
PocketBook on the other hand keeps developing, every new version of firmware not only improves, but brings new options, and you can ask them for new functionality.
Ok, maybe you will experience bugs sometime with PB firmware, but they seem to be fast with fixing it.
