    I have been using one of these for about 2 months. First of all, the software is very poorly done. It does not handle .pgf files well, nor can it play mp3 files.

    In addition, the flip bar is a perfect device for carrying dirt into the device. That bar also is prone to failure. Already, mine will sometimes advance as many as 20 or more pages at random times. The start and change time aer very slow for the processor. I think more software problems cause this.

    never mind the refresh rate of e-ink displays. It’s text for crying out loud. What do you care if it flashes then you change the page? Oh and changing the page is actually faster than turning a page in a book ( good enough for me ). The problem with this device is that it has an weird page size and the thing is VERY expensive. You can get Sony Reader for $299 and this is 650 euro. Tough sell, don’t you think?
