If I want a Pocket style Sony reader which one is best?

There is no way I would go back to a reader that's low-res, slow, has no touch screen, and either is very slow when opening hi-res images or crashes.

It could also have crashed if it was trying to open a hi-res image.

I didn't realize the price of PocketBooks had gone up so much on Amazon. A Verse Pro is now selling for $185, I think when it was first released it was either $159 (or $149?), with sales at $139. On Techinn they're advertised at $157 (plus $12 shipping).

They also sell the other current models.

I've never bought anything from them so can't (personally) vouch for the store.

Yep. That's your choice. Others choose differently.

Choice is good.
