[Lbooker]

I tried it yesterday in Paris (Virgin @ Le Louvre museum). Basically, it worked fine, and compared to my now dead Chinese reader, the main advantage was the absence of flash when turning pages. There is some light refresh going on, but it is far less annoying than a full refresh. It is also much faster, especially the French dictionary and the menus. Pinch to zoom worked fine too.
The two main weaknesses I noticed :
- the side buttons are very thin and almost do not move, so a very precise movement is required to use them ; it is like playing the lottery. Using them seems required to turn pages larger than the screen (I noticed that while trying a PDF).
- the screen is not white, it is gray ; it is readable because the contrast is really good, but not pretty.
French bloggers mainly complain about the nonfunctional USB connection, and the one-line note taking. They also report that several SD-cards they tried did not work at all ( even Sandisk ones ! ). Someone reports a severe slowness of operation when more than 100 books are present.
And since this company rarely updates the firmwares of its various models, good luck with those problems ! Without these, I may have bought it, mainly because the absence of hard full flash (except when moving the pages of a PDF, though) really is a big plus.
