  • "Excellent reader. A great improvement from the original"
    5.0 stars

    Pros: -fast screen updates. This is an E-INK screen not an lcd. Among einks its very fast. And it will let you go weeks between charges.
    -Accepts most open formats. Can load downloaded books easily.
    -The store is well integrated and syncs purchased books.

    Cons: -not much I can think of. Really a great little device. Maybe if upon opening from the box, if it didn't force you to sync with a computer once before wifi syncing can work, it would be better (mind you the computer is not needed forwifi syncingAfter

    Summary: Excellent device. Great battery life. If you need a light you can
    get a little led light from the dollar store. Its far superior to other e-readers.
    Amazon only lets you use amazon formats and you cant use downloaded books with.
    Other readers support some restrictive formats as well. The kobo supports most open formats.
    And of course its a very impressive improvement over the original and wifi versions. I choose this over the vox and other tablet type readers for two reasons.
    The e-ink screen is easier to read and less straining than an lcd and it has much greater battery life.
