Very good and helpful review, PilotBob. I returned mine after having the following three problems.
1) lack of reflow for PDFs. One hates to scroll back and forth to read a PDF, even in landscape mode. Otherwise the print is way too small.
2) laborious text-entry to search a word or phrase in an ebook. I know the word or phrase is in there, somewhere, but it takes a lot of time and energy to enter text for searching.
3) lack of full-page formatting for Gutenburg .txt files. Maybe it's simple to lots of ebook users, but I'm a beginner and don't know how to get rid of those millions of line-breaks to allow the lines to fill-up the display within a paragraph.
Finally, I agree on the high price and the limited use of only PDFs or TXTs for ebooks. Being able to use Mobipocket or etc. would help, also.
