Received it. Every worry I had about touchscreens turns out justified. Can't find a way to hold it in my left hand and flip pages consistently. Also, went through much frustration trying to figure out how to operate it, because it came with no manual (and no link or url for one in the paperwork); had to Google for instructions for "now that I've opened a book... how do I find the home page again?"
And I hate that I had to give them an email address just to set it up to sideload.
Turned wifi off. Don't intend to turn it back on, ever.
Library listing for RTF doesn't show the author, even if it's part of the RTF. RTFs don't have paragraph indents; this is BAD. I don't want to have to insert tabs or 5 spaces in front of the paragraph text.
Navigation from inside a book back to the list of books is very clunky. It seems to require going back to the beginning of the library and shows 5 per page. I don't see a way to sort by date; it looks like this'd be useless with a library of over 50 books, much less 500. (Maybe there's collection options built into the software that I'm not using.)
Text clarity is variable. About one page in five is crisp, clear, gorgeous. The rest are spotty, with ghosting through the letters--I guess that's the problem with a lack of complete page-blink. The "spotty" pages aren't bad, just a tiny bit worse than the PRS-600 I'm otherwise using.
Good things: I like the font options; I love Caecilia; I love that I can turn off the margins on ebooks that have them in the settings. (Don't care if this is not possible on ADE books; I don't read ADE books.)
It'll sort by filetype or file size. Good? I guess? I like that it shows the percentage read in the library list, and the doct ype; I don't like how much space the listings take. (Is there a way to shut off covers so more books will fit on a page? I'm mostly reading fanfic from <a href="http://archiveofourown.org">AO3</a>; there are no covers.)
For $40, it's a fine price for a backup/minimal-purpose ereader. I'm still on the lookout for a full-function reader to replace my stolen PRS-505.
