I also observe that at least this one feedbook ebook being read on the Sony pocket edition is imperfect/wonky. While it reads text fine, illustrations from the book appear washed out or I usually have to adjust page enlargement to see them properly. It's not a big deal, just not 100% smooth compared to reading a normal book. What is more of a big deal is words are missing in some page sizes. In some cases adjusting the page size makes them appear but in others they never do. This problem is mainly when in the real book there had been sidebars.
The good news is that customer service at Feedbooks has been very quick, although in some cases their replies consist of something like 'ereader problems are beyond our control'. Thus, I see an advantage of an integrated service such as Amazon and Kindle where the ereader and the eooks themselves are sold essentially by the same company, no?
Again, I bought this ereader not for features or price, but because it fits in my shirt pocket. Time will tell if it was a prudent choice. Me thinks it will be part of an info arsenal, and the only one I keep for when I absolutely have to be super lightweight. And, five years from now these devices may be dinosaurs with replacement products that are much better. It wouldn't surprise me.
