eSlick Vs. COOL-ER

Well, neither device has its own forum yet, so I guess this thread goes here.

Which device do you think is a better machine? I think they are comparable because they are both meant to be cheap, small, barebone readers which handle only a few formats (mp3 for audiobooks, txt, pdf, and ePub and jpg for the COOL-ER, though I hear the eSlick will be getting some image formats in the future). It also seems they both have a drag and drop approach to loading eBooks into their memory, which is awesome (I think "syncing" is the devil's technology). They also both seem to have about the same price (although the wording on the eSlick website indicates it will go up to $300 from $250). Thoughts?
