Hi Everyone,

I love reading (approx 3 to 4 books on the weekends) and was fascinated to find this forum - I just spent 4 hrs reading everyone's comments!

I haven't brought a device yet but am debating between Astak EZ Pocket Pro (Hanlin5) or Kindle 2 (now that its on sale).

I have a lot of documents (pdf, doc) and ebooks (html, rtf, lit) on my laptop and am wondering which one to get. Any suggestions?

Do I have to convert these documents before transferring them? If yes, how difficult is that to do? Do I have to have special software?

Also with either one of them, do I need to buy a special cable to transfer files between the device and my laptop or is it provided with the device?

Can I just put my ebooks / documents on a USB key and take that with me when travelling and plug it into device or do I have to buy something else?

Sorry for all these questions but any help you can give me would be appreciated.


Thank you
Berny
