Quick review

The good
Easy to use, memory card slots, designed around a "reading" experience, plenty of controls, support for varied file formats
The bad
Menus can be slow to navigate, surface a little too cluttered, online e-book purchase a little underwhelming, no mains powerpack
Verdict
Competitively priced and supported by a major bookstore, it remains to be seen how readily available other booksellers make their digital editions. Could this be the coming of age for the e-book?
