I've had eleven different Ebook readers over the years.

Pyrus mini is rather primitive compared to some, generic. But the size comes in handy. My big hands were a bit cramped at first finding the keys but finally found my best grip.

Is saying "it works" praise? I can put it in my shirt pocket, pull it out discreetly on the job -- never had a job yet that didn't have some downtime even if fleeting. I'm night man when downtime happens it drags ... this makes my life easier.

One drawback is the difficulty of the firmware upgrade. I bricked and unbricked the machine as a couple of others here have. The link to the more detailed instructions were a lifesaver.

Epub obviously is ubiquitous. The oddities of it's formatting can be overcome ... getting Serif typeface and paragraph indentations is possible but you get used to the default style and it's the most readable so I gave up on fiddling with it.

Do I need to say more? Not for everyone but terrific for the odd man out.

Thanks for your help.
