And now I'm back to wavering at the PRS-300 and SmartQ. The Astak Pocket Pro is looking more tempting than the Mini right now since it includes a charger and a (felt?/cloth?) carrying case. Guess it boils down to: weight + wifi vs. battery life + screen size.
@desertgrandma,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
@SilverBear
The 360 definitely looks interesting with the built-in cover. Though at $240, it's going to hurt my wallet bad after shipping.
@Shemmy, P.X. Fort
Do either of you know if the PRS-300 can withstand a shoulder-high (say 5 foot) drop onto concrete? Would the screen crack if it hits a corner?
Is there maybe someone here who knows enough about the SmartQs to answer my questions? I'm hoping their not too technical.
