Okay, it's obviously a fragile piece of junk. I dropped it on the floor, and not even from any great height (as I was getting ready to sit down at the time), and it quit working. My computer will recognize it, but it refuses to come on. I mean, c'mon - I have dropped my cell-phone any number of times and it still works fine, and this thing quits after being dropped ONCE???

EDIT:Somehow, not sure how, it is working again. When I dropped it, it turned itself off, and no amount of button-pushing would revive it. Plugging it into a power source (or the computer) will normally turn it on. That didn't help, although the computer still recognized it as a mass storage device (two, counting the 8GB mini-SD in the slot). After letting it sit for a while, I plugged it back into the computer, figuring I would at least remove the data to load onto another e-reader (when I got one) - AND IT TURNED ON! It is still working, thankfully, and it is now in the case I had ordered for it, which finally arrived in the mail (the day AFTER I dropped it, of course...). Hopefully it will keep working until I can afford a better quality reader...
