I have not had these problems yet. The screen works nicely even before I calibrated it...

I haven't done any of the Cruz updates yet, but did load Sky fire on it. Seems to work just fine. It isn't a pad and it isn't necessarily what I am looking for in a reader, but for some one that is looking for a cheap android device, this fits the bill just fine I think.

My biggest complaint is the glare. I do like the ability to surf a bit, and have found the wifi just fine. We are on satellite and I am fairly use to a slow feed since we are in a state forest, so perhaps my expectations / experiences are different....more time to wait

Have you stuck with your latest pick for a reader, and do you like it? Did you try loading other reading apps on it before returning it like Aldiko, or Moon?

I knew the touch screen would be relatively unresponsive.

I expected to at least be able to turn pages in my books.

Either the Borders app or the touch screen itself was so utterly unresponsive that, while I could type in text (by pushing down till I saw the letter appear) I simply could not scroll in the borders app at all. Oddly enough, I think the bug must be in the borders app - because I was able to scroll the desktop screen.

In other news, I could not figure out a way to delete my borders id from the app, so I had to change my password before I returned the unit.
