I've read various people's posts on MobileRead saying how they actually read ebooks on a portable reader faster than than they read pbooks--I'm just hoping that that's what will happen for me as well. Also, as I posted in the Poll about best features, I'm glad that the PEz doesn't doesn't have wireless internet access, so I won't be so tempted to surf the web as much, especially when I'm at the local library.
You're all a wonderful group of people to turn to in case I have any problems, and it sounds like a wonderful product, which I honestly hope it turns out to be!  |
Dear tmclough:
Welcome to the Astak Dedicated Forum. It is a fun place and we try to keep things upbeat and all happy. I work for Astak.
You will find yourself reading faster and longer on the Pocket PRO (PEZ is a trademark from a candy company and we cannot call it that). But, E-Ink screens cause no eye strain and you will find your eyes do not get tired or water. That is why devices like this are ideal for reading!
You are going to really enjoy the Pocket PRO. I love my own and most others seem overjoyed.
Yes, NOT having wireless, to me, seems like a blessing. The browsers on Ebook Readers are tiny and you cannot surf the web on them anyway (none of them are that strong). BUT... having full control of your library and keeping prying hands and eyes out is great! Plus... most people store their eBooks on an SD card and if you ever lose the card you have everything you need for a new card right on your computer.
Welcome to our happy group!!
