Dear Catlady,

Thank you! I really appreciate your very detailed description of the Aluratek Color. My JBL died on me couple of months ago and am using my phone as my primary reader. I've been waiting for great deals on JBLs but unfortunately, I haven't seen one lately.

The Aluratek is the top on my shopping list for Black Friday, unless there are JBL offerings - I love the battery grip on the JBL and the convenience of changing batteries when it's drained. I'm looking at other readers as well. I saw that Big Lots is offering the Aluratek Libre Pro for $47 on Thanksgiving and Shopko is offering Slick eReader for $49.99.

Thanks for the tip about having a separate card for the Aluratek. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. Is the Aluratek Color heavier than the JBL even with the 4 AA batteries on? And how many reading hours does it give you?

Thank you!

Michelle
