I've had it for about a month now, and I have already devoured 2 books on it. This is perfect for reading at the pool (the main reason I wanted it). It is also great for reading at night. I have had not issues with it at all. I use the SD card to manage all of my books which is handy. I bought a nice leather case from B&N (definitely much higher quality that some of the others I have seen.) If you need something to use on the go and in the sun (very important because there is no glass screen to give glare from hell) this is the choice for you. Another main reason that I bought this one is that I really don't care about FB or YouTube... I have a Galaxy S 3 for that ;)
