Apparently Fry's EZ Reader deal isn't as big as it was advertised here by Robertb. Not Roberts fault, though, as Fry's decided to up the sale price before the refund.

I would suggest the OP wait until mid-Aug and order the 5" inch PocketPro. The screen is only slightly small, it's faster, twice the gray levels (8 instead of 4), and is much more portable. Also, you get the same number of lines as the 6" but without the blank margins. All this for only 200 bucks.

It's really a no-brainer.

I've been wanting to get an ererader since the Sony Reader 500 was still being talked about, but prices and features kept me from it. Now, finally, is the time to buy.
