Dear AbFabGab:
I will try. Understand that I like both the Mentor Lite and the Pocket PRO. I have to sell both. But here is a comparison:
The Mentor Lite uses a cursor to make selections which is very natural and easy to learn. It has "REFLOW" on it for .pdf documents which will resize a document to fit the screen. It has four small buttons on the left side that are "one-touch". You press one and no matter where you are now it takes you to the Main Menu... a real great feature. You press another button and it displays horizontally. Press another button and it opens up the Sudoku game. These are small and unobtrusive buttons so they will NOT be hit by accident. Yet, I think all of these buttons are a real PLUS. And... Sudoku can be a great game. It is a 6 inch device. It comes with a leather pouch.
The Pocket PRO is the "offspring" of the EZ Reader Basic, a device with incredibly strong reliability that was proven by FRY's Electronics and by huge sales in Europe. The Pocket PRO is only a 5 inch but exceedingly robust. It has the Epson Controller for almost instantaneous page turns. It supports an SD card up to 16GB. It has a larger processor at 400MHz. It comes preloaded with Adobe Digital Editions. It has MP3 stereo with equalizer! It comes with a crush-resistant leather case. It uses a by-the-numbers (matching numbered keys to selections) interface.
I cannot tell you which one to buy. They both are excellent devices. However, the Pocket PRO has MP3 with an equalizer and for a teen that should be a huge vote in its favor.
