The difference between them is as follows:
The Pocket PRO is NOT a stripped-down model. It has the user-replaceable battery and an SD card slot to 16GB and E-Ink technology. The Pocket PRO has Epson Controller and 400MHz processor for far faster page turns, Adobe Digital Editions, MP3 stereo, 8 levels of grey scale, Text-To-Speech, displays 12 formats and 20 languages, weighs under 6 ounces, is backed by USA technical support and warranty, and comes in 6 colors for $229.
While you may or may not yet understand WHY all of this is important... my point would be that after you are no longer new here... you will learn that this remains a landmark device that has all the goodies that this knowledgeable crowd loves and praises. PLUS... it will handle just about any eBook you might want to buy... from HUNDREDS of websites. I call it "landmark" because it is in a class by itself... and that is a very good class.
Also, the Pocket PRO has both left and right hand page advance and a scroll wheel... making it far easier for anyone to feel comfortable with the device! AND... despite all the technical stuff on it... it is one of the easiest devices to operate because it is intuitive!
WELCOME!!

Thanks for your response. I've been reading about the different devices and though I haven't experimented with all the advantages of the astak one, i do feel they are really good pluses.
I found another of your posts somewhere saying that you were going to have a 5" version for about $160, did that ever come true?
When do you expect you will resell the pocket pro thru Fry's and other resellers?
Thanks
