Title: Not for computer savvy
Product review: Being locked in to Amazon and only Amazon controlling what you can read, how it appears on the page, and how much you pay for it is really frustrating. I read books on my computer and cell phone, which aren't as nice to look at, but I can read anything I want--including library books.As a casual reader I tend to get books online, from the library, friends, used book stores, garage sales, etc. I cannot justify spending $250 for this gadget plus the $80 every time it needs a battery.I'm computer savvy enough to overcome the backup issues that Amazon has However, it is frustrating that this machine could do so much more but Amazon chose not to allow it.On the plus side, if you're a voracious reader and spend lots of money in bookstores, this could be for you. The display is very nice, easy to read, and light enough to carry.
