Overall, was this a good purchase? As a reader firstly, then all the other extras as secondary perks. Does it still feel good and sturdy? Comfy to sit and read with for and hour or so (that's the most I ever get)?
It's the end of the month, and if the general consensus is still as positive as it was when this unit came to our attention, it's time to pull the trigger!

It's a pretty good reader, but it does have its flaws.
A lot of stuff still has to be done from the command line, which is normal for Linux but simply wrong for a handheld device. Suspend doesn't work; this is very irritating because I want instant on. FBReader doesn't do bookmarks, dictionary lookup or support all html tags.
But then again, FBReader is still adequate. And the Q7 does have a decent browser and Wifi. Right now it's fairly usable, and I'm confident that it will be more so in the future.
