I have one of these. It is my first ever mp3 device and I love it. My husband installed
Rockbox on it as well. I now can't live without it.
Edit: I'm another person whose needs are pretty basic. I don't need any fancy pictures or anything. I just need to put whatever files I feel like on it and that's it.
For kicks and giggles, I put the .txt version of "Pride and Prejudice" on it, and lo and behold, if I were desperate enough to read it, I could. Six words at a time, but heck, "because I can" had me giggling.
