The Astak EZ Reader PocketPro is about the same size as the Sony Reader Pocket Edition. Both have 5-inch, 8-grayscale E Ink screens and cost $199, putting at the small (and inexpensive) end of the ebook reader continuum. But some significant differences, pro and con, distinguish the two; and for all its extra features, the Astak's limited and rather strange font size options are a serious drawback.

Foxit's eSlick ebook reader is curiously named because the device is decidedly unslick, with a utilitarian appearance that lacks the elegance of competing ebook readers. Ultimately, though, its looks are less of a concern than its limited functionality.

From its aspirational brand name (the ER in Cool-ER stands for ebook reader) to its hip tinted metallic case, the Cool-ER clearly strives to distinguish itself from the black-and-gray competition, and to a large extent it succeeds. Skinny (0.43 inch thick), lightweight (6.3 ounces), and available in eight cheery colors, this ebook reader resembles an overgrown iPod, not a bad role model for industrial design.

The Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-300) is about as inexpensive as e-book readers corrently get:£170 for a slim gadget with a 5-inch, 8-grayscale E Ink screen. It lacks extras that some competitors (most notably the similarly priced Astak EZReader PocketPro) offer, and it's surprisingly heavy (7.75 ounces) for its petite dimensions (6.25 by 4.25 by 0.4 inches), but its top-flight design and usability amply compensate for the missing features.

At half the thickness of Amazon's first e-book reader, the Amazon Kindle 2 is pretty inviting. It's a sleek, curved tablet that you can easily hold in your hands. But while Amazon has made some successful enhancements to its ebook reader, other tweaks fall flat or miss the mark entirely. And the company has done little to advance the gadget beyond its single trick: reading digital books.

In spite of its larger size, the Amazon Kindle DX comes off as a surprisingly lean and elegant contender in the current ebook reader steeplechase. This enlarged version of the Kindle has a number of appealing features, including strong PDF support, along with a few missteps.

The Sony Reader Touch Edition (PRS-600) is Sony's new flagship ebook reader, offers something we haven't seen in previous Sony Readers: a touchscreen and stylus for navigating and for creating drawings and handwritten notes. Whether this innovation enhances the ebook experience is open to debate, but the overall quality of the product is not: Except for its lack of wireless connectivity for purchasing books without connecting to a PC, the Touch Edition is a worthy competitor to Amazon's Kindles.
