CNET only has good, bad, and bottom line as headings in their summary, and it would be unusual to count a missing feature as "good". I agree, though, that instant downloads come at a price premium and are not needed by everyone. This is overall a more detailed review that most I have seen.
CNET's review implies that the COOL-ER does not reflow PDFs, even though it is running mobile Adobe Digital Editions:

As for PDF viewing, there's no zoom button per se, but switching from vertical to horizontal mode crops sometimes enlarges the PDF, so it has a pseudo zoom feature.

Is this also the case for the Astak Mentor Lite? On the Sony PRS-505 (also using Adobe Digital Editions), PDFs are reflowed if you select the M or L "font" sizes.
