with drawbacks
- ML = backlight, but no finger touch...
- annoying to have to use stylus to navigate - though can flip pages with backward/forward hardware button
- software is buggy... the pages reset often on this particular epub I'm reading, not sure why

That's the one I'm considering, as well.

Two questions, please:

1) When the pages reset, do you mean that you go back to the beginning of the book, to the first chapter?

2) A number of owners say that the front light [no eInk reader has a back light] is not very strong. Could you test this in a normally lit room, rather than in a completely dark area?

Thank you.
