If you're planning to spend this much on iRiver Story, why not check out many others before you buy? Iriver has a relatively small user base. If there is a problem, it's tougher to get help.
Just 2 instances, 1) my thread on DOC format problem in this forum: nobody has responded to it yet; this is the problem when there are relatively fewer people owning this product; 2) the firmware update file posted at iRiver has been posted and reposted with a wrong file name, which would not be recognised by Story. Sets me thinking if the company is taking this product seriously.
Try not to buy it simply because it 'looks' great. I bought it based on this reason, but I've since found that several issues would only surface after days/weeks after you owned it.
Personally I'd suggest purchasing a product with a large user base. Companies who are making good profits from their reader products will tend to be more serious about updating their products. And you can quickly get help here, should you need it.
I'm not knocking iRiver, but I'm moving on.
