Cheap, you get what you pay for
Too long; didn't read:Iffy build quality, somewhat clunky interface, currently not working after 4 months of acceptably working. Probably worth it spend the extra $30-50 on better quality reader from a company that can/will support non-Russian users. (I haven't tried to contact support yet, though, so take that last with a grain of salt)So this is an interesting, relatively cheap e-book reader. Note I say cheap, not inexpensive. It's from a Russian company, but does have English language menu and settings. It's got a somewhat crude interface that's acceptable, but hardly excellent. The page-turn paddles on either side have gotten very mushy and need a very firm press in order to register, not great. The 4-way pad on the bottom (with center button) is difficult to press without also pushing the center button.So in short, marginal design, iffy quality. Battery life is just fine, although the battery indicator doesn't generally seem to always work properly. Just keep it topped up every few days and you'll be fine. However, stability is iffy. Originally it was more or less fine after I figured out the quirks (like there's an image on the "off/sleep" screen, instead of blank like every other e-reader), but lately it's been getting unstable and just stops responding. The last day or so, it just has totally stopped working. I hit the reset, power up (I'll admit, it's very quick to power up!), I can get into a book and move to the correct page (oh, yea, it doesn't save what page you are on unless you leave the book, so if you lose power or it crashes in the middle you have to navigate to the correct page again...), and then it just stops responding with what was on the screen stuck there.I'll have to take it apart and see what the battery is reading, it might just be the battery is so crappy it has already died completely.

I really loved it when I unboxed it
I don't know about this one. I really loved it when I unboxed it, the packaging is top notch! The aesthetics and build quality are superb. But it's so slow! This is my first e-ink reader, so I don't know if it's the screen refresh rate or if it's just an extremely slow processor. It feels like an old satellite DVR where you press a button and you can't quite tell if it is busy or if it ignored you. Overall I really want to like this, but it just doesn't do what I need, which is being able to have a bunch of technical pdfs on hand. My advice is that you hold off on this unless you have lots of preformatted books.

Not stable device
Unstable, can't be connected to pc after 1 month of using, sometimes the book history disappear and I should open the book and search last place of reading manually. But the main problem now after one month of using is that something strange happens with books itself while reading: when I go to next page I find myself at 3d page or another. It's a pity that I can't change it under guarantee because I live in Costa Rica and book was delivered to ne by my friend from US.

Nice but only comes with a couple books in english
Very light weight and comfortable to hold. It's easy to use. It blinks kinda strange when you push the buttons. It has a very long battery life that can last for thirty days. It doesn't hurt my eyes while reading. I really wish it came with more then a couple books in English that came with it. I need to still get a SD card so I can put more books on it. But I is a nice e reader.I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
