It's a nice reader, feels solid. I haven't had any problems with it. Not that I've had it for long (6 days now
), but still!
Would I recommend it? I would never recommend any reader. Even though I might love it, somebody else may hate it. I will only say this: I still like my BBMini (5") better for taking a reader with me at all times (the cover is sturdier, but more importantly, it holds the reader better and it's smaller), and I still only use my JE100 when reading in a darker environment. But I still like this one as well. I use it in the living room and beside my PC.
