I would be careful about the Pocket Pro. The peeling paint issue that plagued the first colored PP are now reported on the supposedly ''all fixed'' second batch, and on black Bebook Mini.

I looked too at all the 5" readers and purchased a 300. Now waiting for it.

It may comes down to your degree of tolerance for crash. Personally I don't want anything to distract me from reading, so a buggy devices is a no-go especially as Booken has a very poor history for FW fix.

Mind you, Sony too should have fixed their epub support long ago too, but anyway I plan to use the LRF format on it as I already have a 505.
