So my uncle was visiting this past week and I showed off my Cool-er and my Pocketbook 360 to him.

He loved the Cool-er, he liked the color and the screen size and did not even mind the buttons.

I like the buttons on the Pocketbook 360 better, it has a larger pair on the side for page turning. I prefer that over the wheel one.

He felt that the 6inch screen was nice because he felt that it was similar to the paperback book size. He did not like the 5 inch screen at all, and said he couldn't imagine actually reading a book on a iphone or itouch.

Funny enough he liked the Cool-er logo on the back and the saying "we make reading cool" (no accounting for taste there).

He was impressed and agreed that if he got one that he would just want it to read books, not have all the bells and whistles (mp3 player, surf the web etc). He felt that the price on both devices was too high, though he thought that the $200 price point would be good.

Anyway he said that if he had to make a choice he would definitely order a Cool-er, he thought in blue or red.

So a comparison from someone who has not seen a e-ink device in person previously.
