Hello All,
I read all the previous posting and I have to agree with most. I chose the Pocket Pro because I didn't want to be tied down to one format like the Kindle, Nook or Sony Reader. Nor did I want to have to be tied down to purchasing my reading material from one place. I don't care about wireless, touch screen, color or a keyboard. Isn’t that what laptops are for? I have so many other things that I can use to surf the web with. I am not looking for an all in one device. I want a device that is not only portable, pocket and purse friendly, but will allow me to carry my choice of books without limiting me to the number of books I can have at one time. I have over 4000 books in either .LIT or .HTML format that I want to be able to read and not have to worry about trying to convert to a different format or God forbid, repurchase just to read on an ereader. I don’t like the idea of once I purchase something, if they, for what ever reasons decide to; can remove that purchase from my device. I too like being different and don’t like following the masses. I want something that conforms more to my needs rather than having to change my needs to fit the mold already in place. I also hate reviews that penalizes when an item doesn’t have something rather than review it on what it actually does. Like RobertB said, there are those that want certain items and those that don’t. Why should I pay for something that I don’t want or need? I chose the Pocket Pro because in my opinion it offered the most options and accessories for the price and it fits me. Again, this forum, the members here, the support and knowledge really were the selling points that lead me to purchase not 1 but 2 Pocket Pros.
