Hello all,

I'm looking for some advice. I've been reading various reviews of ereder devices here and Astak seems to fit my needs.

My budget is limited, so I was looking for an affordable device, no more than $200. Looking up the eBook Reader matrix I saw that Sony, my other choice, fits this, but I'd like to be able to expand it using SD cards filled with different types of books. Sony doesn't have that. I like that Astak has the ability to play .mp3s in the background, and is not tied down to one or two formats.

I'd like a fairly large, readable screen but that would probably increase the price. I was wondering if Astak will have some larger devices after CES after reading some posts here. Any news on that?

I don't have any experience with page refresh and how annoying it is (or not), so I have to rely on your comments. I'd appreciate some feedback. Thank you in advance.
