Please help! Torn between the Astak Pocket Pro and the COOL-ER

Hello everyone. I would like some advice please.

I want to get a new ereader (I currently have an ebookwise). I was all pumped to buy the Astak Pocket Pro but then saw some reviews and pics of the COOL-ER. Now I'm not sure which one I should get.

I don't want anything fancy, no need for wifi or a dedicated bookstore setup. I just want a basic reader that will work with the main file formats available like DRM pdf and epub. I have a lot of ebooks that are MS Reader with DRM that I will need to convert (I guess through Calibre?) to ePub or PDF for whichever reader I buy.

Can you have extra storage with a SD card on the COOL-ER like you can on the Pocket Pro? If not about how many ebooks will fit on the internal storage of the COOL-ER?

What are some of the biggest differences between the two? I know the COOL-ER is a little more expensive but what else? Are the warranties much different? What about sturdiness and feel?

I normally just buy fiction and romance books so I don't want anything that is too complicated. I don't need anything to read special reports or documents.

Thanks for the help.

Weezie
