It looks like the Aluratek is $170 at newegg, only $20 less than the Astak Pocket Pro. Is it worth the $20 extra to go with the Pocket Pro due to more formats, etc?
Aluratek and JetBook are the same hardware. Buy the device with the correct firmware you want.

The Pocket Pro is totally different hardware and firmware. It is a E-Ink device with 800x600 pixels, and totally different capabilities. It does have ADE support but does not currently have dictionary support. It does come with a nice case. It will last weeks on one charge.

The JetBook is a 640x480 screen with much faster page turns but only about 22 hours on a charge. It is not just about price difference.
