I got my M96C on Monday from eReader Store. So far I like it a lot, but I don't have any other e-readers to compare it to (beside my phone, a Galaxy Nexus). Could the screen have greater contrast? Yes. Could it be higher resolution? Sure. But I think it's still very usable, especially for reading PDFs that you can't read on other e-readers, which is what I'm using it for. It's light years ahead of the first generation iPad, I once used one of those to read a 300 page PDF file from archive.org. My eyes hated me. Now they like me.
