After an evening of frustration and sore thumbs from pounding on the very unresponsive touch screen of the Archos7 I drove it back to Best Buy this morning. It was a lesson learned about what another member referred to as low end poor components. After reading from a Kindle and using an iphone touch screen, it was too horrible to keep. I have an orphanned "Augen" I use at night or in a motorhome and would buy another at half the price if I could find one.
The Archos has too many bugs, one of which was not staying recognized by my router. Finally after figuring how to load the epubs on the SD card, I found it difficult to navigate with the books. The page turns required a hard swipe or tap or three and was too much effort, so I gave up. Also noted, many of the aps available did not work as the firmware was old and not upgradable. If the Pandigital and the Cruz are at all like this, I 'll wait and wait..
