slow. sluggish when next or prev page has a graphic. can't enlarge graphics. no place to hold it, needs options for long press or double click so buttons won't activate by accident. amazon may charge for http in the future. very few tech books from reputable publishers and such titles, even if offered, would be useless unless you can enlarge charts and table and drawings. titles are mostly too expensive at $9.99 (considering the cost of delivery) and some non-bestsellers and tech titles are outrageous at up to $200. otoh, virtually instantaneous downloads from virtually anywhere. text looks fantastic, even bad eyes can read at smallest font size in order to have more words on a page. can sample nearly a hundred thousand works absolutely free. can hold hundreds of works internally and can offload titles to amazon for storage.

you might be able to tell i still haven't made the keep/send back decision.
