Pocket PRO is light and small but very solid!

For example, some older laptops that are made of plastic feel flakey and creak when you hold them. But most apple laptops are made of metal and feel very sturdy in your hands - even if they are really thin. That's what matters most. And from what I've seen, the PP looks very sturdy.

One of the reasons I bought it is for its size. I would prefer a smaller reader with a 5" screen that actually fits in my pocket over a reader with a 6" screen that's bigger and may not fit in my pocket as easily.
Dear Robertp:

I agree. Light and small can mean "shakey and too flexible". The Pocket PRO you recieve feels like a solid piece of 100% plastic. There is NO flex and everything is built solidly. It feels wonderful in the hand and is NOT slippery. Most say it feels like a non-skid almost-rubber finish!

It is VERY hard to transfer in words what you will find. Suffice it to say the quality feel is there! This was proven at CES when attendees after attendee made the same comment: "it just feels so good in the hand"!
