Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; built-in free wireless "Whispernet" data network--no PC neede...

Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant; pricing for nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the periodicals and blogs are available for free online; black-and-white screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and...

Love that I can buy a book & have it downloaded in aprx 1 minute for $10 or way less. Also like that I can load my own documents, files, manuals, etc so I don't have to carry around my volumnious binders of training materials. Love the Home feature.

Next Page and Prev Page buttons could be smaller and not quite as sensitive. I too have inadvertantly turned the page without meaning to.
