I received my Pocket Pro. I must say that the shipping is pretty fast via USPS. Only took 1 week to get from US to Australia =D.

Aside from that, I must say that Astak is really honest with the cost of shipping! It really did took 40 US dollars. Was pretty surprised =D

Also, I haven't play around much, except loaded some chinese .txt files into my reader since that's the primary type of file that I use. And I'm pretty much satisfied with it.

I bought the generic black one, and I really like the rubbery feel, as it doesn't felt like cheap plastic. I'm still not very familiar with the keys, so will need a while to explore them. Aside, I'm pretty happy with the size of the fonts =D

So now, I'm crossing my fingers and hope that nothing goes wrong with the battery, or with the device in general.

There's one thing though, I dunno if I am noob or what. I loaded some books into the device's storage. After that, I updated the firmware by putting the update into the SD card. After the update, when I access my device's storage, all my books seem to be gone. So when I plug in the power supply again, I was asked if I want to format my device's storage. It's kindda weird. But yeap, I formatted it anyway and now I have to reload all my books. Does this happen with every update? And can we delete the .bin file after the update?
