I don't know... the cost of these Paperback things is pretty misleading...
The Paperback itself only holds one book. I have seen some models holding several books, but they are incredibly thick and heavy. It also comes with no extra features. If you want to take notes or highlight passages, you need to buy extra accessories like the Pen and Highlighter. Even marking where you left off isn't automatic and they gouge you on bookmarks. Some of them cost more than the Paperback!
And then there's the screen... it's SO flimsy. I could break it easily. I'm sure some of you will be defending the Paperback by saying "oh, but they use hundreds of screens so if you break one you won't ruin all the rest." I'd rather have one nice screen that will last!
What about when a new model of Paperback comes out? What if you want to upgrade? They say DRM on the popular ebook readers is bad, but you can't transfer your purchases at all on these! What if you drop your Paperback in the bath? I suppose with the draconian DRM on these things, it's good that they only store one book per device.
Who in their right mind would ever want one of these? Even the worst eBook reader is better than the Paperback!
