I also got two units in the Woot deal, just to have a comparison with my jetBook Lite (that's my excuse, I have so little willpower when it comes to gadgets). The JBL and Sony e-ink screens are different, but equally pleasant to read. I like to alternate them so as to give my eyes a change and a rest as I spend all day looking at a computer screen. I find the Sony 300 works well in either hand, but the jetBook Lite I prefer to hold in my left hand (by its battery bump which provides a nice firm grip) and use the slider control to change pages. My hands are small, and I find these 5 inch readers perfect for reading; not that I would mind if someone GAVE me an iPad... (smile) but being a frugal sort of person (read = cheap) the $100 price point works better for me. My JBL cost me $115 at Newegg and the Sony Pocket $113 at Woot.
