Been using it for 5 minutes and already there are many things that bother me:

1. Most of the books I'd consider buying are restricted to US customers.
2. Scientific books have text like "[MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] (1)" or "A(detected at O)= [summation over (i)] A(S [right arrow] [A.sub.i] [right arrow] O) (1)" where equations should be. This is a pretty major issue which will make some books impossible to follow.
3. No figures (at least in the books I've flicked through).

I do like the ability to sample chapters though, so I expect I'll use that feature but probably not buy anything from shortcovers.
