Not having a good selection of books is totally a problem with the product. You can have the best computer in the world, but it is useless with no software.
Got one for Christmas. Constantly froze & crashed & there is NO customer support. Telephone support is from 7 to 7 EST M-F but no one ever answers the 800 #, even at 7am. Emailed for support 8 days ago, still no answer. New releases on web site are very expensive even with the 25% discount offered & they don't have a lot of the new releases that Amazon, Sony or Barnes & Noble offer. Sent it back for refund, because of the support issues don't want an exchange. This is an epic fail brick.
Why isn't this compared to the Sony ereaders? The 505 is far superior; though it does look a bit like Sony pinched the design of the cooler for their pocket version.
I convert my books from TXT to JAR files and read them on my phone, sure it doesn't have "electronic ink" and im liable to wreck my eyes, but its a hell of a lot cheaper than those things, smaller and lighter too! Besides reading ebooks I can also listen to music, text, internet, games etc, so much better than thse single purpose devices.
Meh... Thicker than a Sony PRS505, layout ripped from it and the looks ripped from an ipod. At that price you can already get a better Sony PRS505 that comes with a nice leather cover protecting the screen.
poor selection of books? Just download it fpr free lmao

@norseman714,
THANKS for letting me know! I was saving up my pennies for this but now I think I'll wait a little longer and get a Kindle.

Because Kindle is the industry standard, the standard against which all the others are measured.

I find it great
very basic without those [in my opinion] unnecessary features of kindle and suitable for students who are on budget

Are the screens still prone to glare? Could you read in the garden in the sun?

@thefrequencykenneth,
There should be no glare, or at least far less than with regular paper. The screen technology is called e-ink.
It's not backlit, though, so to read in bed, you'll need a book light.

It looks like a fake ipod clone from ebay.

i just listen to audiobooks, they can be quite expensive but they tend to be books ive already read, or by the same author.
because i find it really hard to read while travelling because i suffer from motionsickness, and my eyes form a false horizon
