Of the two, I'd go for the Astak because of the side mounted paging buttons and the jog dial; I'm not a fan of bottom-mounted paging. YMMV, of course. Both are decent enough readers by current standards. On the issue of bulk, though, the Pocketbook 360 is the size of a CD case and 10 mm thick, the same as the 300, you know. ![]() Last edited by fjtorres; 12-11-2009 at 09:14 PM. |

Guess what? On another thread I found out that some Car Toys stores have the Astak Pocket Pro. I was able to look at one today, hold it and fiddle around with it a little. Overall I like it. The text was easy to read and it was nice and lightweight. They don't have it available in maroon which is the color I want. The pages seemed to turn a little faster than on the Sony prs300. But they don't have it in maroon which is the color I want.
If I get the Pocket Pro I will probably buy ebooks in pdf and epub formats. The one little thing I don't like is that it doesn't show page info when reading an ebook (page you're on, how many pages total, etc). So I'll think about it for a couple days before I buy. |

Thanks for the info Javed. I like the 9 zoom levels and about the page numbers. Makes me even more excited about the Pocket Pro. I'm checking out the Sony prs300 one more time at Borders tomorrow just to make sure I like the PP better. I'll let you all know which one I decide on.
