3. The cover looks great. Ordered it (Hey, it's black and so is my Cool-er, plus it's leather and seems to be very sturdy). I will let you know about it when it has arrived!
@aceflor: The screen and the reading experience on the Cool-er are great. It supports more formats then the Sony and does a nice reflowing on the PDFs. So, yes, it is a good reader. The hardware is quite solid, too (never heard of a broken screen, for example, except for the lady who stepped on it with her high heels (Ouch)), the firmware is better now, but could be more stable.

Sounds good.
I am not happy with any ePub display around at the moment, so if the Cool-ER can handle justified ePubs that sounds like a good thing. I don't understand why such an apparently opn standard has such problems being nicely displayed on any eReader, or why it seems so inflexible (for font choices, sizes, etc.).
Also, have you tried any FB2 files on your Cool-ER. I bought the BeBook because it handles so many formats, and FB2 is superb. I convert nearly everything to that format. So while I would a reader to handle ePub well, I also require an excellent FB2 reader.
Thanks!
