Has anybody tried this reader?

Here's an interesting quote, "Can display unencrypted Microsoft Reader eBooks, HTML, plain text, and Tiny Reader eBooks, as well as unencrypted or secure Fictionwise Reader format eBooks."

MSlit? hmmmm.....

Even though I've recently switched to a Nokia 770/FBReader for my primary ebook reading, I love the Fictionwise Reader and its many excellent features, some of which are not yet available to the Nokia/FB Reader (i.e., highlighting and dictionary look-up). I switched to the Nokia at the time my wife usurped my Fictionwise, but I'm quite comfortable reading ebooks on either. (The Nokia is lighter in weight -- and size --but with extremely clear type.)
