Right on Pie, I want to second that. This EZReader Pocket Pro seems to be the only sub-$200 eInk device available in the US and they are setting it up with secure ePub and eReader, both are open, secure formats. ePub tends to have the newest books and a host of classics while eReader has an inventory of back listed titles of good books that were published a few years ago and may never make it into ePub. I'd be happy to see something like the Pocketbook 380 set up with the same format support and sold in the US, but we must take what we can find. This offering is a step forward.
