Good E Reader

I have had mine for about a month now and really enjoy it. I borrow a lot of books from our library and downloading is easy and quick. Battery life is good, had to fully charge it once since initial charge, I use it every day so pleased with how long it lasts. I read indoors and out, and like the clairity. This brand was recommended to me and I will pass that along!

Great ereader!

I bought this recently and have had no problems with it except for the fact that the WiFi is not compatible with my WPA internet network. That's not a big issue with me since I use this eReader to read books rather than use it as a browser. If you want to surf the net, you're better off with a Kobo VOX. But I really just wanted an inexpensive and reliable eReader which this is exactly what that is. It's easy on the eyes to read and extremely light to hold.

HORRIBLE Customer Service

Unlike other reviewers who had difficulties with the actual device, I quite liked my reader. However, the company sent two readers and the resulting interactions with 'customer service' were horrible. Although I had no problems with the device itself, the customer service was so appalling I returned both readers (the one I ordered and the accidental extra one) within the 30 day return period. My whole experience with the company was terrible and I would not recommend their reader for that reason alone.

crap

Bought this e-reader for my son. Have had nothing but issues since day one - titles miss labelled so the wrong book is donwloaded, customer "service" that takes 7-10 days to respond to emails, overcharging card, bizarre and frequent error message codes on their site when trying to make a purchase etc etc...the reader may not be a bad platform, but the back end e-commerce shopping functionality and the "customer service" absolutley suck!

Love it

I bought the ereader this summer because I wanted to be able to read outside. It is fabulous, easy to read in sunlight, holds charge very, very well (I read a lot and have only charged it a handful of times), portable, and seems pretty resilient too.
