Pros:
• Excellent screen: perfect size, very readable, great resolution
• Built-in micro SDHC card reader
• Great build quality
• Fantastic battery life (user serviceable battery too)
• Good for reading most PDF files
• Good format support
• Fast boot-up, fast page turns
• Easy to add bookmarks and find them later
• Folder view, folder management
• Easy to copy/paste files, no “syncing” needed (but optional)
• Works great with Calibre
• Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (haven’t used either though)
• Comes with a very nice protective sleeve (semi-rigid)
• Very customizable as far as reading layout, fonts, etc
• Text-to-speech works decently
• Ability to add custom dictionaries
• Easy to search for ebooks on the device by author, title
• 3.5mm headphone port
• Remembers where you left off in each book
• Progress bar on bottom is great (and recalculates for font changes etc)
• Easy learning curve, intuitive

Cons:
• Border around the screen is too large
• No built-in reader for .lit files
• No built-in reader for CBR or CBZ files
• Mini-USB instead of Micro-USB (huge negative for me)
• No way to actually disable the accelerometer
• Device is heavy, surprisingly heavy

Other:
• Haven’t used the Internet browser, can’t comment
• Haven’t used Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, can’t comment
• Haven’t played any MP3 files, can’t comment
• Multiple language support: only used English, can’t comment
