It would have been nice to get the maroon one at Car Toys since they are doing the BooksOnBoard coupon too. But at least I was able to look at one in the store. That was so helpful. After looking at it I then went back to Borders to check out the Sony prs300 one more time. The Pocket Pro is set up better in my opinion. I like the # buttons and the whole look of the screen. Plus it comes with a nice case and charging adaptor unlike the Sony.

Hopefully I won't have too much trouble converting my .lit files that I already have into epub. Plus I just bought a dozen or more ebooks from Fictionwise. So I'll have my work cut out for me when I get the Pocket Pro in the mail!

Dear Weezie:

Thank God you purchased that Maroon when you did. We are really running out of Maroon in a hurry. That has been a HOT Christmas color.

Remember, the Pocket PRO does read non-DRM Fictionwise eBooks fine but we do not have Fictionwise DRM yet. We are waiting for them to send us the SDK and a good and workable contract. You can, of course, buy Muti-Format eBooks on Fictionwise!

I am very grateful that you joined our family!! I am normally here if you need me (except January 2 thru 11 when I am at the CES show).

Do not forget to charge the Pocket PRO when you get it. That is very important!

Also, read the FAQ sheet on our website: www.theEZreader.com under "support". That FAQ sheet is again being updated but is crammed with good tips on how the Pocket PRO works. While on the website, do the firmware upgrades as well! Instructions are right on the website on how to do it!

WELCOME!!

I think you will be really happy with the Pocket Pro.

But overall I liked it a lot. It felt really good in my hands and the buttons were easy to use. I'm still deciding between the PP and Sony prs300 but the PP is a little ahead in the running. I was glad I could check them both out (the PP at Car Toys and the Sony at Borders).

Thanks again Sara. You're the bomb!

I have the maroon color, and I really hope that Oberon makes their Wild Rose Cover to fit it.

Well I received my Pocket Pro a few days. I really like it so far, it's just taking quite a bit of time to convert all my lit ebooks to epub. Very time consuming.

The only thing I'm bummed about is that my tan cover has some stains/marks on it. I noticed them as soon as I took the reader out of the plastic. My hands weren't dirty at all so I know I didn't cause it.

Guess I'll have to call Customer Service to see if I can somehow get another one.
