I've been very disappointed in the reader technology -- the battery began to malfunction within a few months. Since I use the reader mainly for LONG plane rides across the Pacific, having the supposedly fully charged battery konk out after a couple of hours and maybe 800 page turns [as opposed to the 7000 that the salesman advertised]is very frustrating. I also think Sony has done a poor job in providing user friendly help pages. the Library has a help function -- the reader itself does not and I for one have never been able to get the alleged music downloading capacity to work. But then given that battery life is so unpredictable, perhaps that is one less source for frustration. I'm saving up to buy an IPAD!
