I was commenting more about the "cheerleading" of the Pocket Pro, then whether or not someone should eventually purchase it. Everyone is welcome to his/her opinion, I was just pointing out that to aggressively support and push the PP when no one here has actually even seen or used one might be a bit premature.

Robertb has done a good job of having you well primed and will be pleased ;-)

The PP does sound like an interesting device. Personally, I already have a 5" device (jetBook) which already has fast page turns, no flashing, folders, great resolution, dictionary support + more - and I have no intention of purchasing DRM-protected books. But my conditions do not apply to everyone, and some people just prefer eink (or think they might).

That's great and I look forward to reading the reviews once these devices become available!
