Reviewers Didn't Like
- Extra features of limited value; lesser display quality than Kindle, NOOK; purchasing titles takes patience
- Resistive touchscreen not very responsive, Sluggish performance, Page turns slower than some e-Ink eReaders, Mediocre multimedia playback, Can't sideload apps
- Dim, fuzzy, extremely stubborn touch screen. Sluggish, obtuse user interface. Buggy, despite a recent firmware update
- Heavy to hold, Abysmal screen quality
- Sluggish performance, Crappy resistive touchscreen, Interface not all that intuitive
- Resistive touch-screen is problematic; extremely sluggish performance; interface could be more intuitive; overall user experience could be better
- Hardware: Limited buttons means less compatibility for Android applications. (though not impossible), Software: Crude Built-in Organizer apps, Not currently able to access the Google Android Market for different readers/apps
- A short battery life could cut your time reading
