Hi ignatz,

It will read other formats:

Quote:
* Rich Text Format (.rtf)
* Microsoft Word (.doc)
* Plain Text (.txt)
* Rocket eBook Editions (.rb)
In addition I just tried it with an HTML document from Gutentalk and that seems to display fine. I'm not sure if it will do hypertext links though - my text document did not have any.

I have also tested it with a Rocket eBook formated book (.rb) that I got at Blackmask. It displays beautifully.

The fact that it will display .txt, .rb, and .html opens up whole worlds of books and documents.

I have only had it about 72 hours - battery life seems long but I'm not sure how long. I thing there is a way to bookmark and also make margin notes but I have not really tried that.

Something else I like, once your internet based bookshelves are stocked with either books you buy at eBookwise or your own content on your personal shelves the 1150 can download it directly without a computer through it's built in modem. It automatically dials in through a tollfree number. A nice feature if you are stuck at Grandma's house over the holidays and need another book.
