I've been considering what to get and like the idea of a 6" screen. The pocketbook 301+ is listed on Dulin's books as having 16 grey scales. I've read elsewhere it has 8. It looks like the only difference between the two is the firmware. And the $70 premium you pay for the pocketbook. The PB does read chm files which the Mentor Lite won't. That's not a deal killer for me as that format is being replaced by other formats (for ebooks anyway) and I can always write a program to convert my chm's (or find a linux box with chm2mobi on it).

Robertb,
Are there any plans to add CHM support or text to speech to the Mentor Lite? I know they're both unlikely, just thought I'd ask.
Thanks
