Ranma 1/2 is a Manga that comes in small-form MMPB form, and it looks very spiffy on the PEZ.

I haven't read Ranma in about 10 years. Are these available to buy somewhere in digital format? PM me details if it's not appropriate to mention on the forum.

For sale at $249, vs $259 for the EZ Reader Basic.

It is $199 with $10 towards ebooks at Books on Board.

Hmmm... I'm wondering if I can use my $60 Gift Certificate toward a purchase. I could have it shipped to my father's house in the U.S., and then he could ship it to Peru.

I also have about $37.00 in Rewards Dollars. The Gift Certificate should be allowed for any purchase. What's the thinking on this?

I say go for it if you can't/don't want to do the paypal thing.

That sounds like a awesome deal. And you still get another $10 for books after the smoke clears.

Nice

BoB has great CS in my experience and you can't beat the price.

I can't remember where I attained mine from. It may have been from a college friend who sent me a couple CDs of stuff.

I searched online on google, and never found a legit seller for them. It would be nice if they did. the 5" screen with 8-level gray is perfect, and reads almost exactly like my pbook versions.

I was thinking about buying some manga books on Amazon for resale, and then cut out all the pages. And sticking them the scanner feeder at work.

This is a much better deal.

In any event, I am happy to see that the Pocket Pro is now available from multiple sources.

However, I just received an e-mail from Astak that they received my Slate Blue return, but are out of black Pocket Pro's (They have white and blue). They say they will be getting more black next week - I guess they gave BOB and New Egg all their in stock Black ones....

Guess I just barely got in under the wire!

Well since they fixed the paint issue can't you get a new blue sent to you?
