Astak has revolutionized the way you read with the EZ Reader Pocket PRO! At just 6 ounces and with dimensions smaller than a standard hardcover novel, the EZ Reader Pocket PRO has the ability to display any PDF document, and supports SD cards up to 16GB in size! To load eBooks to your EZ Booker, simply connect it to your computer via USB, and the EZ Reader will automatically find eBook files and load them into its memory. The battery is charged via the included power supply or USB, and is replaceable if needed.
Sporting the latest generation of E-Ink’s microencapsulated ink imaging film, Vizplex, the screen uses ZERO energy to display a page and is easy on the eyes under various lighting conditions, including direct sunlight. ePaper technology really manages to approximate the feel of printed texts, so you won’t suffer from eye strain even after hours of reading.
The EZ Reader Pocket PRO also can play mp3 music while you read to enhance your reading experience. The well placed control buttons let you move forward or backward, add bookmarks, choose font sizes or adjust gray levels simply by pressing the corresponding button. You can read almost anything on the EZ Reader, with its native support for over 15 different file formats including PDF, DOC, RTF, HTML, TXT, MP3, BMP, JPG, RAR/ZIP and more. Get yourself this versatile eBook reader from Astak now and experience the joy of reading in a uniquely different style!
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Reads ALL the formats, including the compressed ones (zip/rar) Latest firmware has fixed the power leak; now I can use the Reader for month(s?) or so without recharging! SDHC!
Cons: Not so good for PDFs. Very slow for grafic rich files. I tried to read the Lonely Planet guides, and besides all the maps being scrambled, going through the content was real pain. Zooming the fonts in PDF can be unpredictable as well. Same goes to PowerPoint and to some extent MSWord files. Hence 4 stars
Other Thoughts: Overall I am really happy with this gizmo; it surves its purpose really well, and regular firmware updates give some hope that eventually they wil fix the zooming issues as well. As for the graphics part, I think it's hopeless - the processor is just not powerfull enough to handle the rendering.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: - Great color selection, Comes with a case and does a great job at protecting my investment. Easy to use with a large variety of file types that can be used. I like the fact it's plug-in play and you can create folders and transfer file without a hassle. Price is just what I was looking for. The battery on this device has been amazing.
Cons: None so far, everything I could want in a device.
Other Thoughts: I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality product that does about anything you could ask for from a E-reader device.

Versatile and Extremely Portable!
Reviewed By: Elanor on 1/21/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: - Easy to read screen - SD Card Expansion - No DRM (not locked to a certain vendor) - Reads all sorts of formats - Battery Life is excellent - Can load and play music while reading - Great Color Choices!
Cons: - Battery drains quickly if you leave it in standby mode for too long without activity. For long breaks make sure to turn it off completely. - Slow to respond sometimes - Minimal musical controls - Has trouble with some formats (my experience epub and lit)
Other Thoughts: Purchased this so I would have something to read while flying and it fits that bill perfectly. Only annoying thing is that, unlike a paper book, you are asked to turn it off during takeoff and landing.

Great E-reader
Reviewed By: perrinjcat on 12/16/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: -plays EVERYTHING -awesome customer support -good build quality
Cons: -none so far
Other Thoughts: I really enjoy my Ez Reader. I bought it on a whim as sort of a way to "test" the market to see if I would like it or not. I have been more pleased with it and find myself reading more on the device than I expected. I have used it to checkout books from my library as well. The only downside, and it is not Astak's fault, is that the two big bookstores, A*azon and B**nes and N*ble, have their own devices and that limits your ability to buy ebooks to some degree. If one of those two were to open up their books to all readers, I would be buying books very often for my EZ Reader.
