No idea how they are like, haven't had time to check them out as I just got the catalog (Ive been looking myself)
I just bought a Stash - and read with it in bed last night. I have ordered a Pocketbook 302, but that will not be here for weeks. So got this one just to tide me over.

I do NOT recommend the Stash. The other OW units look ok, if a bit basic. The Stash has one problem - the screen is simply too dim. I went to 2 stores, and checked out (opened the boxes) on 4 units before I found one barely usable. The store demo was unreadable. Anyway, you can only use it in a darkened room, and even then you have to get the angle just right. This angle thing is a bit awkward if you are reading in bed of course.

I will be giving my Stash to my daughter the minute my Pocketbook arrives!
