Thanks and sorry if these are silly questions, but as soon as I saw the purple, I had to get it for her! (The Sony reader would be the 2nd choice)

Dear Yankgirl:
Welcome to our merry little band of Astak lovers. I work for Astak; and our forum has me on it most of the time. Here you get to talk with the company!!
There is no such thing as a silly question on this forum.
The Pocket PRO weighs less (5.8 ounces), is faster (Epson Controller with 400MHz processor) and is FAR more full-featured thatn the Sony BRS-300. Our device has the same E-Ink screen and 8 level grey scale... but there the similarity ends. The Pocket PRO comes in 6 colors, has Text-To-Speech, has an SD card slot that can go to 8,000 eBooks and your MP3 music, has three page turning stations, has a USER-Replaceable rechargeable battery, comes with the crush-resistant case and free ear buds, and is a pleasure to hold and read from. One battery charge will allow you to read 3-4 novels approximately. The Pocket PRO has 20 formats on it including Adobe Digital Editions for DRM of EPUB and PDF. You get 9 levels of font increase in EPUB and PDF.
Yes, your DRM and non-DRM EPUB and your non-DRM Mobi will read just fine!
Thank you! We want you on our forum!!
