This price drop puts things into the same ballpark. I still don't know if it is something I will get him. (he wants a reader that scrolls text automatically without him turning pages)
Dear Longshot:

Astak's new Pocket PRO comes with the Epson controller, 400MHz processor, 8 levels of grey scale, Adobe Digital Editions, supports 14 formats and 22 languages, comes with everything including a leather case, can be carried easily in a pants or jacket pocket, E-Ink, has left and right hand page change, has a scroll wheel, and comes in six colors for about $200. It also has automatic advance on the Text-To-Speech and plays MP3. There is NOTHING like this near as fast and inexpensive!
