I only have the cool-er so i can't really offer a comparaison
Well my girlfriend was really against ebook but she went out of new books to read and borrowed it from me ..
The pro :
- The readability of the e-ink display, she found it was really easy to read.
- The weight, easy to use only one hand to read while lying in bed.
- The choice of books, ok some format might not be as well served but overall even only using the free books around there's probably more than most can read in a lifetime
- The battery, it's really really good.
The con :
- Rendering is not always perfect (i usually convert everything to epub)
- It's not a real book, but to be honnest she's saying that less often now and i've heard her telling her friends how good it was.
I can only agree with the last part, it will never have the touch and feel of a real book and some features need to be added to be able to search more easily. I saw some good ideas from i can't remenber wich brand to type using the direction keys (a freaking keyboard on the bottom is not an option, kindle users might be the most agressive ones around but their device is ugly and there's nothing they can do about that).
At some point this year i'll probably replace the Cool-er for a new one, specially if i can get one of my friend to bring me a cheap one back from China so i'll ask her to compare.
