Great substitute for my laptop

byshiningmonk Feb 5, 2006

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls

Pros Wireless, easy text entry, good graphics.

Cons Need more memory! Also Bluetooth unfriendly.

Recommended it? Yes

I bought 2 of these almost a year ago, one for myself and one for my wife. Our uses are very different, whereas I use mine for business (and Sudoku), she uses hers for audio, video and playing scrabble. We have both grown very attached to our PDAs.

Pros All the features you want - nothing lacking

Cons It is a PDA - watch out for that fragile screen

I cannot help but think that some people that wrote reviews on this unit either got a total lemon (it happens with any brand) or do not know what they are talking about, assuming they actually OWN one of these.

Cons --Home screen settings annoy me<br>--Silver version is too silvery

Recommended it? Yes

This reader has seriously changed my life. I have read so many books since getting it. I bought my wife the pink one and she loved it so much it got me all excited and I had to get a silver one for myself. We are both nuts for them. Amazing purchase.

Pros Good screen resolution; basic format is epub, with PDF and Word, capability.

Recommended it? No

This thing is an ergonomic disaster. It will do the things a reader should, and does them well. However, a very big however, it is very difficult to hold without inadvertently touching the screen at some point. When that happens, it goes bonkers. If one sits on one's deck at... Read full review »
