Hey from north of Tampa, Florida (US)

kolrone · 01-01-2010, 07:41 PM

My name is Aaron and I'm just north of Tampa, Florida. I just wanted to stop by to introduce myself since I've been using this site for a while to determine which reader best suits my needs. I think I have arrived at the Astak EZ Reader Pocket PRO, although the Cybook Opus is also calling my name. I am a college student so the numerous file formats on the Pocket Pro should be perfect for what I need (especially the PPT support).

I know CES is coming up, so I wanted to wait for any new announcements before I pull the trigger on the Pocket Pro. Does anyone know of any new devices coming out that I should wait for, or should I just go with my first choice?

Thanks,
Aaron

Welcome to MR, Aaron! It's nice that you've come out of lurk mode

There are new devices coming out but everyone has their favorite that fits their personal needs. You are doing the right thing in researching what is available and how it will work with the formats that you use.

Have you seen the MR Wiki reader matrix?

Thanks for the welcome. @dreams I've actually looked at the matrix more times than I want to admit
