Fantastic piece of kit

This thing is amazing - the screen is nice and clear and easy to read.
The menu is very easy to use and plenty of setup options to adjust text size and orientation.
Tip - if you want to save money on a power supply get a Sony PSP one as its the same but a lot cheaper.
Great Item

This thing is a lot better than I expected. I was dubious as to the 'ink print' on 'screen paper' of the display and the sizing options of the font, but I need not have been.
The screen is perfect to view and read, the font size adjustable to small/medium/large, and the menu system is easy to grasp. Its also very simple to download ebooks and add them in seconds to the reader with the added software.
I'm impressed.
