This is a deal breaker for me. The first book we opened, the first page we looked at, and the whole bottom line is missing (except the tops of the t's and h's).

Bottom line: fiddling with fonts and text sizes to "fix" what is obviously a very serious bug that never should have made it through final testing is just annoying and dumb. For $140, I expect it to just work properly out of the box. I shouldn't have to wait for updates or use annoying workarounds that may or may not resolve the issue.

At first I thought this could just be a bug with this one book, but two pages of people having the same problem tells me this is a systematic fault that should have been caught during production and testing.

I'll be returning this unit and getting something different. In a market with that much competition, the makers of e-readers can't afford to be so sloppy.
