The unit is so slow! Going from the home page to power off takes forever. Some web pages, like my library consortium here in Oregon, take up to 60" to access, let alone load.
The joystick is so slow and imprecise that when I get to a button, I have to diddle back and forth up and down half the time to hit it.

BTW as a brand-newbie, I'm impressed by the civility and good cheer in these forums.

Hi Jim,
TB should also play WMV format video files. There is just a dearth of controls.
I find that just touching the power button seems to put it in a standby that does not seem to use power in terms of usual use. Then just touch it momentarily again, and it will turn on- virtually immediately. It also, usually, if you turn it off while inside an eBook, will return to that page. Most of the time. If you hold the button, it powers down- and takes, as you said, a while to load.
I think every one here is very nice too
