"Not worth The Price"
1.0 starson by jjkb0440Pros: I liked the sd card slot and the ease of adding books by just copying them to SD Card. Battery life was good, nice size although the 5" screen was a little on the small side.
Cons: Slow, navigation was a pain, text didn't seem to line up correctly with a whole line being taken up by one or two words. the mp3 audio was bad. seemed to take along time from adding something to the SD card before the Libre would recognize it.
Summary: My over all feeling is that this was a super entry level e-reader that was over priced. i paid $139 for it but felt ripped off. I would have kept it if I had paid $50-75 and i have a feeling that this is where it will end up. If you are looking for a faster more responsive system go with one of the higher end systems like the Kindle which when i tried on was a much more enjoyable experience.

Its odd that you would say this... as most of the reviews I've read have said that its the response time that is the major plus of this device, over other standard e-ink devices like the Kindle and nook. Before my nook cracked, and I found out that they don't repair them, I was a bit annoyed with the page turning slowness and the lag between everything I wanted to do on it.
Borders is selling this now... is it possible that you had a defective unit?
