Hi!!! New to forum. I bought my TB from Kmart back in August while browsing the store to spend the money that was burning a hole in my pocket. Even though I'm not green when it comes to tech(I have three laptops/netbooks that I repaired/customized), I haven't had the pleasure of an e-reader. While I wasn't looking to spend $200-plus on a device I may not like, the price for TB seemed reasonable for the featues it promised.

In November, I got a Dell Streak. It has e-reader capabilities, and has since replaced the TB as my reader. But I still liked the TB, and since I didn't want the purchase to be in vain, I repurposed the TB by filling it with recipes and constructing a stand for it to sit in my kitchen. It sits in the portrait position up high enough to plug in power and speaker cords. I sometimes display a picture while I listen to music, although I wish it could slideshow pics. And if I want to watch a movie/clip, I just turn it on its side to landscape.

I haven't used it for anything else since I got the Streak, but would gladly use it for other purposes...

Its just sad that Augen is not supporting this device anymore...
