Wow, the 1000MHz battery cheaper then Nokias 900MHz one? Very good news indeed!

Huge plus for the Pocket PRO
Dear GA Russell:
Yes, I think that the user-replaceable rechargeable battery is a MAJOR reason to buy the Pocket PRO compared to a sealed-in device. The fact that the battery is easily available and so cheap adds to this major advantage! I HOPE others will also THINK about this. It can run up to $100 to have the sealed-in battery changed by a factory... plus you will be out of luck on eading for a month or so! WHY do not more people catch onto the point that having a $100 charge tacked on to a $199 item is a major disadvantage? |

As far as I'm concerned, having a user replacable battery is high on the desirablilty scale, and is only one of the many reasons why I bought the EZ-Reader and pre-ordered the pocket pro!

Note: "listening to the Doors"
Dear Musicman:
Note that Griffonwing did not say "listening to a device". I think he is listening to the "Arkansas Doors" in his garage... a group of five that forsakes musical instruments in favor of playing Post-Rap Punk Bluegrass on eBook Readers. They are an obscure band that has managed to serve as Janitorial Services to Amazon. |

I think it was just a mental error on his part.
