I just ordered an Astak EZ Reader 6". According to UPS tracking it should be here Wednesday or Thursday. I picked the Astak because I like the wide range of formats available, and I chose the 6" over the Pocket Pro because of the availability of alternate firmware. The fact that the underlying OS is Linux didn't hurt either since I am a big fan of Linux.
This is my first e-book reader in several years. The first was a Rocket E-Book and it was a big disappointment to me. I hope this one turns out better
