Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this product on sale from J&R and plan on returning it after only one day. What I wanted was an ebook reader that would be easy to use for my mother, who is 67 and has arthritis and mobility problems with her hands. She also is a serious technophobe so I wanted a reader with a simple to use interface for her.
This was neither of those things. For starters, the instructions that come with the product are minimal, and loading books are slow, really slow. I could run to the restroom and come back and the book would still be loading. And this was an epub I was loading at the time. It's even worse for pdf's.
Most of the books I have for my mother are in epub and pdf format. The pdf format was painfully slow and never displayed width of the book, so to read she would have had to scan back and forth for every line. I know my mother wouldn't want that. I've owned two other readers, the Nook (which reformatted the pdf files so you could read and resize the text but removes the images, and is a nice product overall but breaks too easily) and my current one, Augen's The Book (which flips to landscape mode when you enlarge the pdf files instead, so you can keep the images and read the book as intended). I am going back and getting her an Augen.
