pocketbook 301 vs. Astak Mentor

Hi folks,

I was looking over the Pocketbook 301+ and just wondering if it is the same hardware as the Astak Mentor. If it is the same hardware, can the Mentor use the Pocketbook firmware? The Pocketbook 301+ seems to support way more formats than the Mentor, but the Mentor is quite a bit less expensive at the moment...any ideas?

Yes, the hardware is the same, but the software is quite different

) that's why it is more expensive.
And, you can't use PB's firmware for Mentor.
