But overall I liked it a lot. It felt really good in my hands and the buttons were easy to use. I'm still deciding between the PP and Sony prs300 but the PP is a little ahead in the running. I was glad I could check them both out (the PP at Car Toys and the Sony at Borders).
Thanks again Sara. You're the bomb!

Dear Weezie:
I work for Astak.
Car Toys took the Pocket PROs in Black, White, and Blue. I suggested Maroon but they wanted to wait.
I have a feeling that if everything goes well with Car Toys on selling the Pocket PRO they will carry all 6 colors. Also, I think it would be easy enough if you wanted to go to Car Toys and place a special order we could ship it to them pronto if it is in stock.
Regarding the Sony prs-300 and the Pocket PRO... both are fine machines. BUT... please look at what features the 300 has and then look at the Pocket PRO. Expandable memory is only one small thing... but you cannot expand on the 300 and can go to 8,000 eBooks on the Pocket PRO. Don't forget that the battery on the Pocket PRO is User-Replaceable, not so on the 300. Pocket PRO has Text-To-Speech. Now, look at what comes with the device. You get a pouch with the 300... we give you a crush-resistant leather-like case that protects your unit and free ear buds.
That is all I am going to say... but this is a pretty easy decision based on value. We would love to welcome you to the Astak camp!
Anyway, thank you!!
