Thumbs up Ok so for me the aluratek libre pro is still the champ

Well I went to Fry's in Anaheim ca they have a sightly better ebook display and I got to play around with power on astak 6" ez book reader, Libre pro and Sony 300. Honestly for me the Aluratek Libre pro still won in a side by side comparison the, price,features, size ,weight and with my eyes the readability of the screen again made it the winner between the three. For me the 5" screen isn't a huge issue because when I did read lots of paper books it was always the paperback format (sorry I'm a cheap bastard LOL always waited for the softcover LoL). For someone who is a lover of larger hardcover paper book format I could see how the Astak 6" ez reader would be attractive to hardcover reader. Another factor that swayed to the Aluratek over the Jetbook is its support of DRM epub books, I going to renew my LA county library card soon so I can read the occasional NY times best seller or buy the ebook of newest star trek novel (a horrible but fun not so guilty pleasure) I can. Honestly I don't think today there is the "perfect" e reader out there but for my uses the Libre pro is almost perfect. Now if I can get my new one to give 12 to 14 hours of reading out of it (charging it every other week) I'll be happy. Besides in about 12 to 18 months the newest latest and greatest e reader wiz bang will come out and I'll be replacing the Libre pro newest $160.00 champ. Until that time I think libre pro is a good choice for me.
