Well. I have a new Literati. Best Buy, not surprisingly, no longer had any in stock. JC Penney had never had any in stock to start with. Kohl's was happy to exchange devices. I figured I did them a favor getting another unreliable item off their shelves for them. Everyone so far has agreed this is the oddest manner of dealing with a malfunctioning device. Meanwhile, someone has a Nook on Craigslist for $100. I'm sorely, SORELY tempted. Seriously -- what am I supposed to do when this happens AGAIN? And, why would I think it WOULDN'T? |

Wow, I'm sorry to hear everyone's Literatis are dying! So far, mine works beautifully. My daughter uses it 1-2 hours a day and we haven't had any problems with it so far. I hope I just got lucky and got a good one...

Hopefully this new device will last a while. When I replace it, I'd like to get a color, back-lit reader, but right now don't want to shell out a couple hundred dollars. I guess this is what I get for being cheap! I'm going to call their customer service today, and ask them to send me a letter stating exactly how long their warranty is, because I can't find anything ANYWHERE, except one review (Consumer Reports, I think) saying they have a 12 month warranty. Well. I want it in writing, from the source! |

I havent had any problems with mine! For the price of $10 for my son & $20 for mine Everythings going Great LOL As for the Nook you can buy them ALL day for $119 on B&N used! They are at least guarenteed 90 days! So $100 on craigslist is No Bargin! Woot had/has them for $99!! Nooks are not bad but CS on B&N sucks!

I've been tempted to buy one of these at my local Big 5 ($59.99 plus 20% off coupon) but decided to check here first. Based on a quick scan it seems like I should run -- and fast -- in the opposite direction!

Having said that you really need to make sure you are getting what you want assuming it works. The Nook is a e Ink screen with great qualities for reading in the sunlight and good battery life. The literati is more like the nook color with an LCD color screen with a backlight. Its battery life is likely about 6 hours or less before it need recharging. It is backlit and readable in the dark without a book light. These are very different qualities and should override the costs I would think. Images on the literati are very nice, as good as a digital frame would be. you can collect a set together in a zip file and rename the extension to cbz for viewing. Dale |

Nook that are the e-ink batteries Only last 9-10 Hours! They say 10 days based on people only reading 1 hr per day! Before you decide on a nook I would suggest you read the B&N forum. BTW even to use Nooks for Free books & Library books it has to be reg WITH a Credit card at B&N! One thing I LOVE about the Literati & Kindle No Cr cards required!!
