Everywhere, with the biggest drawback being the much reduced contrast.

As for the people that love their ee pcs I am happy for them, I loved mine for a couple of months befor the supposed SSD became far too laggy to use, the fact that I loved it doesn't mean though that it wasn't a piece of junk. What Steve jobs has said about net books is true, they can do a lot of things but they cannot do anything well. On the other hand I love my iPad too and it's clearly not junk. Let's face it asus are not into quality offerings, they are about half baked cheap stuff that can do some tasks adequately, and this ereader is no different of course.

the only reason that it might have a purpose is that amazon are shooting themselves in the feet by crippling the finctionality of the kindles, and that apple are not in the eink device segment.
