Like this.)

The other already shows software problems and I haven't even loaded a book yet. The font size change on the built-in books doesn't work, and at one point various menu selections highlighted but didn't do anything when tapped. Cleared up after a power-off.

You get about 4 words per line with the default non-resizable font. Really not worth the effort. I'd read it in landscape but that doesn't appear to be an option.

And so far I haven't found any replacement firmware. For $15 it would make a nice touch-screen linux... I'll let you know if I can find a way in to it.

I know to expect some time for shipping, but I gotta say...that's a bit to much to accept. WOW
