It was incredibly slow to open books (2+ minutes for average ePub), extremely sluggish using the menus, and to boot up takes a very long time. Now perhaps it works better on their readers, but on my reader it was CRAP! Oh and one more thing, it cannot find preloaded books. You have to load a second copy into a special folder before it can find it. Crap by any other name still smells like crap.
Narrowminded ? you being bearer of the truth ? you are not saying the truth, you're considering one exception as the rule...
Normal epubs are opened in 10 - 20 seconds, as I said, an illustrated one may take even up to 3 minutes, but that's not the normal case.
What you could consider a "crap" is the sony firmware, because even after almost one year they haven't even come out with an update.
Wait for one year an see what this firmware can provide us with. So far, most of my
ebooks are rendered in a beautiful way, a thing I cannot even dream of, by using the sony firmware.
