Their website says -
Adjustable Text Size
Increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. TheBook™ has four adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference.
But you also have a selection of font too. And that’s VERY important because of the low resolution, you will need to adjust the font and font size. In the end I was able to find a good enough combination that I liked.
I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised. I'll have to load up a SD card and go back.
The selection of ebooks in "TheBook" varied from horrible to good formatting.
The cover on in the unopened box was VERY nice. Not at all like the one on the Kmart web site.
I had very little time to look at it before I had to go, but I just may buy one this weekend.
Great reader - No.
Good enough for a second reader or to give to someone as a first reader to see if they like reading ebooks - yes.
Yes, a lot of people will start yelling how it's bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.
But for only $100 it just may be the right reader for some.
I'll have to think about it tonight and load up a SD card.
